Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia that is available on the Internet and what people love about it is that it can be edited by absolutely everybody

When and how did it start?

It was founded in 2001 by a guy called Jimmy Wales It started as a fancy idea, a kind of a hobby and everybody is surprised how popular it has become and how many computer scientists it has attracted It has got a collection of about 1.8 mln articles, the majority of which are in English; however, one can find some articles

in over 200 languages If it was a business, it would earn lots of money

How is it possible that articles that can be changed by anyone are correct?

The Wikipedia is based on wikis - a special software which lets everyone modify a webpage and it is true that anyone can change the information on the page if they think it's incorrect But, the Wikipedia has a team of over 13,000 people who are experts in different fields and who correct any inaccurate information sent by people

Is it error-free?

One may say so Recently, for example, the British journal Nature looked at the scientific information in Wikipedia and confirmed it was very reliable and that they didn't find many errors It was very good news for the founder as well as for all the users

Why is it becoming so popular?

Like the whole idea of the Internet, it's also quick and available to everyone The greatest thing of all is that it is free Some people also stress that it's fun to be able

to add what you know to the information on the net IT specialists believe it has a very bright future and most claim it's the most brilliant invention ever

Although video games were first developed for adults, they are no longer

exclusively reserved for the grown ups in the home In 2006, Rideout and Hamel reported that as many as 29 percent of preschool children (children between two and six years old) in the United States had played console video games, and 18 percent had played hand-held ones Given young children’s insatiable eagerness to learn, coupled with the fact that they are clearly surrounded by these media, we predict that preschoolers will both continue and increasingly begin to adopt video games for personal enjoyment Although the majority of gaming equipment is still designed for a much older target audience, once a game system enters the

household it is potentially available for all family members, including the

youngest Portable systems have done a particularly good job of penetrating the younger market

Research in the video game market is typically done at two stages: some time close

to the end of the product cycle, in order to get feedback from consumers, so that a marketing strategy can be developed; and at the very end of the product cycle to

‘fix bugs’ in the game While both of those types of research are important, and

may be appropriate for dealing with adult consumers, neither of them aids in

designing better games, especially when it comes to designing for an audience that may have particular needs, such as preschoolers or senior citizens Instead,

exploratory and formative research has to be undertaken in order to truly

understand those audiences, their abilities, their perspective, and their needs In thespring of 2007, our preschool-game production team at Nickelodeon had a hunch that the Nintendo DS - with its new features, such as the microphone, small size and portability, and its relatively low price point - was a ripe gaming platform for preschoolers There were a few games on the market at the time which had

characters that appealed to the younger set, but our game producers did not think that the game mechanics or design were appropriate for preschoolers What exactlypreschoolers could do with the system, however, was a bit of a mystery So we set about doing a study to answer the query: What could we expect preschoolers to be capable of in the context of hand-held game play, and how might the child

development literature inform us as we proceeded with the creation of a new outletfor this age group?

Our context in this case was the United States, although the games that resulted were also released in other regions, due to the broad international reach of the characters In order to design the best possible DS product for a preschool audience

we were fully committed to the ideals of a ‘user-centered approach’, which

assumes that users will be at least considered, but ideally consulted during the development process After all, when it comes to introducing a new interactive product to the child market, and particularly such a young age group within it, we believe it is crucial to assess the range of physical and cognitive abilities associatedwith their specific developmental stage

Revelle and Medoff (2002) review some of the basic reasons why home

entertainment systems, computers, and other electronic gaming devices, are often difficult for preschoolers to use In addition to their still developing motor skills (which make manipulating a controller with small buttons difficult), many of the

major stumbling blocks are cognitive Though preschoolers are learning to think

symbolically, and understand that pictures can stand for real-life objects, the vast majority are still unable to read and write Thus, using text-based menu selections

is not viable Mapping is yet another obstacle since preschoolers may be unable to understand that there is a direct link between how the controller is used and the

activities that appear before them on screen Though this aspect is changing, in traditional mapping systems real life movements do not usually translate into game-based activity.

Over the course of our study, we gained many insights into how preschoolers interact with various platforms, including the DS For instance, all instructions for preschoolers need to be in voice-over, and include visual representations, and this has been one of the most difficult areas for us to negotiate with respect to game design on the DS Because the game cartridges have very limited memory

capacity, particularly in comparison to console or computer games, the ability to

capture large amounts of voice-over data via sound files or visual representations

of instructions becomes limited Text instructions take up minimal memory, so they are preferable from a technological perspective Figuring out ways to

maximise sound and graphics files, while retaining the clear visual and verbal cues that we know are critical for our youngest players, is a constant give and take Another of our findings indicated that preschoolers may use either a stylus, or theirfingers, or both although they are not very accurate with either One of the very interesting aspects of the DS is that the interface, which is designed to respond to stylus interactions, can also effectively be used with the tip of the finger This is particularly noteworthy in the context of preschoolers for two reasons Firstly, as they have trouble with fine motor skills and their hand-eye coordination is still in development, they are less exact with their stylus movements; and secondly, their fingers are so small that they mimic the stylus very effectively, and therefore by using their fingers they can often be more accurate in their game interactions
