Like most new forms of artistic expression that have come before (music, novels, movies), the primary critics of video games are the people that do not play them.” ~ Will Wright

If you don’t know what you’re fighting for, how do you know when you’ve got victory? In some ways, new media makes it easier for people to connect. It’s hard, though, because we’re much more seduced by the Internet, by big-screen TVs, by cell phones that can do everything.” ~ Stanley Nelson Jr.

But we’re seeing new media offer richer ways to explore knowledge and communicate, through sound and pictures.” ~ Seymour Papert

There’s advantage to the new media, but on the other hand, you miss the ability to frame an issue that you had when there were just three TV networks: CBS, NBC, and ABC.

It’s so hard to get people to focus in a sustained way.” ~ Marian Wright Edelman

Zewail

- “I think one of the great things behind game theory, or game development, especially in education now, apropos, digital and new media, is finding a better, easier, more intuitive way to learn that takes that away from the drudge and the structured work part and puts it into the reflective, “I’m alive, I’m a human being, I’m not working right now,” part. And I think that I would like to see music and arts and humanities become more able to even the color spectrum of the fan of activities.” ~ Thomas Hampson
