TV

2012-NETFLIX
2015-FREEVIEW

79% of the uk watch at least some online catch-up TV series (iplayer, netflix etc). Binge viewing has become more normal.

these services are interactive and participatory as we choose what to watch when we watch unlike the traditional broadcast model (7.30pm eastenders). this would bring people closer together.

netflix currently has 7.5 million uk subscribers. net worth of $100 billion.

netflix started to make their own content such as shows and movies. 'House of cards' is an example

David Gauntlett: representation and identity- interested in how new media (internet for example) have an impact on identity.
web 2.0 allows anyone to upload a movie they've produced
has netflix changed the way we view tv?

700 original series =$8 million
this is done to cater to everyone.
creating a niche audience. as normal tv doesn't do this. However the overall combination of all niches lead to an outnumbered mainstream.

netflix shows i watch:
orange is the new black
jane the virgin
black-ish
grown-ish

DOC B

cross-platform minecraft

1. Cross-platform gaming is being able to play the same game with others through different devices. For example friends playing minecraft with each other through a PC, playstation and their phone.

2. Microsofts 'Better together' update is exciting for the gaming world as it's easier for people to play with each other wherever and whenever. It expands their potential and no longer limits gamers.

3. Their maybe concerns over online child protection because this update makes it easier for potential online trolls to access vulnerable kids playing on their playsation or nintendo. No one truly knows who they'll be playing online hence why playstation hasn't conformed to this update.

4. I think the future is very open to cross-platform gaming as technology has become so worldwide and advanced making it more of an idealistic and simple way for gamers to enjoy their experience through whatever devices. Pros of this would be making it easier for gamers to have fun with whatever platforms they have access to and no longer limiting their experience. Also the minecraft update means that there are no longer different versions across the different platforms, so now all the players of minecraft can have the same gaming experience. However cons of this would be that it's more expensive and time consuming to make this advancement also the framework may not support every feature, for example android, iso or windows phone may get different updates at different times.

1) Minecraft has helped kids with autism immensely due to the writers own experience with his autistic child zac. As earlier in his childhood his vocabulary was very limited and had little patience for doing expressive activities like painting and drawing. However he had loved technology hence his immediate passion for minecraft as he was able to express himself digitally and more freely. As there's not one specific story for the game but just experimenting with the numerous possibilities of life.
2) The education version had helped teachers to interact with kids as kids were setting up towns which had helped them with their geography. agriculture and architecture.

3)Bergensten suggested that copycat version were unsuccessful due to the improvements of the quality as the beauty of the game was mainly based on it's awkward blocky look which had attracted more viewers, those with autism specifically as it helped them with their self confidence.

4)The modding community are the team members and staff that help to build minecraft (designs of towns, creatures, maps and adventures )

5)The 'sense of ownership' was very important to children according to Bergenstein as the game gives children the freedom and ability to make their own rules and meet people through their own free will. It creates a social life for them outside of school.

6)Minecraft has extended and developed it's brand over the years as it has recently partnered with 'WarnerBros' which is part of a major filming conglomerate. This is advertising and bringing minecraft into a wider culture and audience, through mass media.

Daily mail had said that video games causes aggression and dimension, however 'The Guardian' says that the evidence was inaccurate and the neurologists wasn't a real one.
