This might be a nostalgic topic:

We are organizing a panel on *Video Games: Meaningful Play for Older Adults* for the 67th International Communication Association (ICA) Conference held in San Diego, USA, May 25-29, 2017 (http://www.icahdq.org/conf/2017/2017cfp.pdf).

In keeping with the conference theme of “Interventions: Communication Research and Practice,” we invite researchers to investigate the intersection of video games and older adulthood, examining the broad application of gaming as a tool in successful aging, focusing on the gaming experience of older game players, intra- and inter-generational gaming, the motivations and perceived benefits.
