• What career field are you in?
  Software Engineer
• What is your definition of a Video Game?
  A game played on an electronic device.
• Do you think there are controversies with Video Games? If yes, what are they?
  Typical controversies involve sex, drugs, and violence; though these are often (but not always) misconstrued when in news reports and other 'out of context' media, sometimes this is intentionally done as a marketing technique
  
• Do you think video games change people over time?
  Of course, any form of art (literature, painting, theater, cinema) all are designed to invoke a response from the observer that may or may not change their outlook on the world; however not these changes are highly personal and not always what a casual observer would expect.
  
• Would you describe what the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) does, in your own words?
  Provides a surface level review of the activities within a game that a parent may find objectionable (no matter the context). While these can serve as a guide for uninformed/uninterested parents, in many cases the story of the game can convey positive (or negative) moral values which are not always reflected by a games rating.
  
• Which genre of Video Game would you say is in high demand in today's market?
  Shooters offer a wide market appeal for casual and hardcore gamers
  RPGs often for those interested in a deeper story (book like experience)
  MMORPGs have very broad appeal and diverse player base (often addictive)
  
• Do you think Video Games affect/effect different cultures differently?
  Of course, while games are often aimed at American/European/Asian cultures, they are played around the world, and can upset different cultural sensitivities (much like any art form)
  
• What do you think parents, should do to make sure their child has a healthy use of Video Games?
  Monitor the time kids spend playing games is important, but also they types of games they play and how they interact with those games are important; talking about the games they play and what they do in the games can be a very good way to make sure your kid is mature enough for the game and for helping choose future games.
