    CAN GAME COMPANIES HELP AMERICA’S CHILDREN? The Case for Engagement & VirtuallyGood4Kids™ By Wendy Lazarus Founder and Co-President with Aarti Jayaraman September 2012 About The Children’s Partnership The Children's Partnership (TCP) is a national, nonprofit organization working to ensure that all children—especially those at risk of being left behind—have the resources and opportunities they need to grow up healthy and lead productive lives. Founded in 1993, The Children's Partnership focuses particular attention on the goals of securing health coverage for every child and on ensuring that the opportunities and benefits of digital technology reach all children. Consistent with that mission, we have educated the public and policymakers about how technology can measurably improve children's health, education, safety, and opportunities for success.

Cox University of Sheffield, UK [email protected] Abstract The “photosharing” site Flickr is one of the most commonly cited examples used to define Web2.0. This paper explores where Flickr’s real novelty lies, examining its functionality and its place in the world of amateur photography. The paper draws on a wide range of sources including published interviews with its developers, user opinions expressed in forums, telephone interviews and content analysis of user profiles and activity. Flickr’s development path passes from an innovative social game to a relatively familiar model of a website, itself developed through intense user participation but later stabilising with the reassertion of a commercial relationship to the membership. The broader context of the impact of Flickr is examined by looking at the institutions of amateur photography and particularly the code of pictorialism promoted by the clubs and industry during the C20th. The nature of Flickr as a benign space is premised on the way the democratic potential of photography is controlled by such institutions.

Kim Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) are online entities that are truly global and borderless by nature, but in smaller countries like Malaysia, they are licensed by global developers to local publishers to be localized for local players.

However, this is not the case as the relationship is interchangeable, known as the Global-Local Nexus, as neither of these forces has control over the other, but at the same time they have great influence over one another.
