My research interests lie in the realm of digital games, and in particular games as expressive media in both social and cultural contexts. I intend for my work to show that games often provide more honest reflections of the functionality of computers and related technologies as compared to other digital media. The history of digital games is also linked inextricably with the history of time-sharing networks that would give rise to the Internet, as well as “interactive programming systems” that afforded users significant control over digital development environments.
