NEW MAJOR AT MU
Students learn how to create video games

The Missourian article "MU students learn to design video games" by Caitlin Cernovich and Tammy Ritterskamp reports on the beginning of the information technology major at MU and the classes offered.
What I found to be the most interesting aspect of this article was the statistic from the Entertainment Software Association used in the lead saying that "75 percent of heads of households play computer or video games and the average game player’s age is 30." This information was very surprising to me. When I think of people who play video games, I don't think of parents or people older than I am, I tend to think of teenagers, people around the same age or younger than I am.
