The history of video games goes beyond the arcade boom of the 70s and 80s, when Pacman and Space Invaders saw gamers spending quarters in their billions. Professor of Computing and PUP Speaks speaker Laine Nooney specializes in the historical, cultural, and economic analysis of the video game and computer industries, which means delving into the complexities of labour laws and exploring the stress constant computer use puts on our bodies.
