My Day at the Game Developers Conference

I am not a game developer, and I will I most likely will never become one as that is not what I am interested in computers for. The closest I've ever been to designing a computer game myself, is giving ideas and helping out my boyfriend with some naming issues he's had when developing his last two games. My sole-reason for attending the Game Developers Conference in 2008 was mostly based on the fact that my boyfriend wanted me to accompany him on something that meant a lot to him. This event was held in San Francisco, California, at the Moscone Center.

My Experience In A World I'd Never Seen
My day started off really early on February the 18th. I was woken up by my boyfriend who was making noise looking through out suitcase for the most geeky looking t-shirt I'd packed him. He couldn't wait to get there, and told me to hurry up and wake up to begin making our way. I could tell that this would be a great day for him, and he certainly needed it, so I did just as he said. I was ready within the next 45 minutes, and he decided we had time to have some breakfast before going.

When we arrived at the Moscone Center, I could tell that I was about to go into a world that would freak me out beyond belief, and I was right. Inside of the Moscone Center, on the first level, there were all kinds of people already at 9:30 in the morning. There were all kinds of tables set up everywhere with all kinds of new technology being shown. I was told that me and my mom would be going to a forty-five minute workshop where we would learn about cool things, then we'd be allowed to just hang out and look at different things.

The workshop I attended was called "Social Media, Virtual Worlds, Mobile, and Other Platforms." When that started I was so interested in everything they were saying, and by the end of the hour I decided to take everything I learned and let my boyfriend know about it.
