I'll be reviewing Gaming industry in CIS and other world by Anton Kolisnetšenko, Kirill Kurkin, Nikita Kovaljov, Mark Shafran in this post. The paper was well constructed and substantially informative with its descriptions of the variety periods of time gaming and the culture of e-sports had developed. The paper beginning with an immediate dive into the honest and realistic circumstances CIS people faced when attempting to play games in the earlier decades. The development of the times and spread of video games proving opportunity to more people than just the hardcore enthusiasts provide a good example to ponder how our circumstance and what we are capable of indulging in are different from the past. Throughout the paper I enjoyed reading through the timestamped years and looking at what occurred and thinking back to what I had done at that time period providing a good way to contrast and visualize the different experiences I had compared to what was going on the pro or local

I'd like to write about the incredible and inspiring way Stephen Hawking was able to communicate with the twitch's of his cheek muscles.  Hawking was great British physicist and world-famous scientist, hw contracted Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis also referred to as motor neurosis when he was young at the age of 22. Leading to gradual degeneration of muscles, difficulty in swallowing, talking and breathing. With such a degenerative disease went on to do phenomenal work in physics on and became a world-renowned scientist. The question would be with such limited movements and a continuously worsening physical condition, how did he continue being able to interact with a computer to continue his work? Hawking utilized an infrared switch mounted on his spectacles which he was able to move by twitches the in his cheek. The software moved a cursor across rows and columns of letters and Hawking could select the desired letter by twitching his cheek, words and sentences are formed b
