This forum on digital gaming raises some controversial questions in regards to the gaming world in our culture today. It points out the "serious addictions" and "aggressive tendencies" that most digital games possess today and raises the question, "Could it change?"

In this article Kevin Fitchard confronts the negative aspects in collaborating recipes online and explains the specific problems in applications made for recipe sharing. For instance, a recipe library and cooking forum called KeepRecipes is easily accessible when a person wants to share a recipe, but has a weak scraping function. Moreover, other applications such as MacGourmet and Paprika require users to pay instead of allowing free access.

For Fitchard, recipe sharing online needs many improvements.
