CS 4100: Final Topic

Write a blog post reflecting on your experience in the class session where students presented their final topics.

After discussing the topics that each student intends to finish their semester studying, I was surprised at the lack of diversity thereof. It seems that many of my peers intend to research and report on the same three things; privacy, security, and how to ensure you’ve got both.

While that is, of course, a generalization and some variety of topic was exhibited – I was still surprised as the consistency of topics expressed. That being said, I am excited to say that my topic of “The Industry of eSports: A Playground for Programmers and Pro-gamers alike” fell outside those boundaries and thus may be interesting to some of those students who are caught in the overlap.

I fear that my personal bias in favor of eSports and investing in the blossoming industry that it has become may skew my research but, objectivity in writing is a fool’s errand. Even legal documents contain some measurable amount of word bias or personal bias evident in the diction or the content thereof.

I think it’ll be fine.
