Edward Castronova: Games and the Internet

Estimated reading time Time 1 to read

Edward Castronova is Professor of Telecommunications at Indiana University and obtained a PhD in Economics from Wisconsin-Madison University. In his article for the book “Ch@nge” he analyzes the current potential of the tandem Interent-games. Is this the perfect combination of factors that may encourage the cultural change?

“When a game is designed, a cultural environment is being designed.” Today, technology and the Internet allow many people to design these alternative “cultures” to what really happens on the street.

Professor Castronova highlights the economy and business as the areas where the “digital revolution” will be starkest.
