MUSIC and GAMES: Computer Music and History of Video Games
The answer to generating popular genealogy and family history interest by teenagers,
youth and active adults, appears in the creation of interesting computer games --
technology that can be used by individuals, as well as for group interaction in shopping
mall arcades, or other religious and educational meeting locations.  Participation will occur,
by the adoption of genealogy and family history learning tools that conform actual research
methodology with popular culture: the instant personal gratification obtained in game action
time frame transitions.  Individuals or groups thus achieve positive goal orientations, through
interactive associations with the great lives of men and women, adults and children, in past
and present history; or, in the projected future lives of civilizations yet born and unknown.
From Civilization, to computer game Civilization, to the restoration and re-creation of valid
Ancient and Modern Genealogies.  The benefit of this open interaction with other people,
is the restoration of bonding between common ancestors and other researchers in real life;
experiencing in Virtual Reality (Second Life®), how different personalities react under
similar conditions.
