Computers In The Workplace

 Computers In The Workplace

For this week's discussion post I decided to write about the tertiary and Quaternary sectors involving the entertainment industry surrounding console games. This is the most influential and dynamic sector in the global economy. Computers and upgraded hardware is what drives the transformation and development of video games ranging for the marketing, distribution and player engagement. It is vital for employees to know the baseline in understanding how to function programs and other various applications with computers creating and delivering quality, immersive experiences for your casual gamer.

At the core of the entertainment industry, development of video games rely on powerful computer hardware. The computers focus on a vast amount of engines assisting with programming, sound design, editing graphics or identifying bugs ensuring the game runs at its best across all platforms. Advertising and distributing also relies on computer hardware such as the network and servers having the capability to deliver video games to a vast amount of players or maintaining player engagement which is important for the longevity of titles that are online only.

Computer literacy is an important asset to employees that are experts with programming or designing video games. If hired in this industry you must have a strong understanding of computer systems being able to troubleshoot issues and or change in technology that could create hurdles in developing the video game. The entertainment industry is forever evolving as we look to the future. Computer hardware and operating systems will continue to shape the industry with new possibilities when it comes to gaming. Each decade promises a new console or game with things we've never imagined being done on screen.
