I was born in 1995 in Leicester, England. After moving to a small town in Lincolnshire by the name of Grantham, I attended The King's School, Grantham and Grantham College before moving to London to study a BSc in Computer Games Design.

Since a young age, I have always been fascinated by technology and gadgets and gaming became a huge interest of mine from the day I was given a Sega Genesis. From there, my interest became more of an obsession with video games. I would constantly wonder how they were made or what could be done with them. This obsession, that started all the way back in 1998, soon became the reasoning behind choosing to become a computer game designer as my career choice.

Reflection

Wikipedia on Technology

Wikipedia has become one of the first places students and professionals will come when gathering information and sources regarding next to any topic on earth. Therefore it has become so important to uphold the credibility of the website by ensuring that any information added or edited is 100% factual and referenced by a source.

It can sometimes feel like there are no end of Wikipedia articles on technology and, with the advancements made in tech all the time, new articles are being added to the website as well as uncountable edits every day. Despite this, Wikipedia is a great place to find facts and read up on the history of all kinds of electronics, theories, computer games and technologies from around the world.

My Addition

After some research and looking the topic up on Wikipedia, I discovered that "digital simulation" didn't have it's own article to explain exactly what it meant or what it could consist of. And so I took it upon myself to create a new article to do just that.

Using sources to back up what I wrote, I thought the best way to describe digital simulation would be by giving real world examples, as well as a small snipped of history surrounding the type of technology. And so I researched the two different examples as well as linking other articles for an even better understanding for anybody choosing to read it.

Next

It is important to keep up to date with the latest technologies and this is why I thought it was wise to create an article that talks about such a large and fast changing topic. However, through doing this, I have gained the skills I would need to edit other articles on similar subjects to ensure that they are factual and up to date. I will try to edit and update my article so that it contains as much relevant and accurate information on the subject.
