Direction: Read the following passage and answer the question which follows.

The first computer games were played in the arcades, amusement centers having time-consuming, coin-operated games. Young males traditionally visited these, and hence, were the first audience for games. When the first game console appeared in homes, everybody could play them. But due to the nature of the games, which were largely copied from the consoles, the prime audience remained young males. This continued when new generations of consoles appeared. When PC gaming started, computers were still primarily used by men. It was also difficult to install and play these games, which required knowledge of the operating system of the computers. Only a few women had this knowledge or an interest in it. However, the age range became a bit larger because computers were primarily owned by a bit older men. This changed when the Internet started to become popular. The so-called Casual Games that could be played on the Internet, directly in a web browser, did not require any installation and were very easy to play. Games often last only a few minutes, making it possible for women to play them at irregular intervals and briefly in between other tasks. This attracted a completely different audience, middle-aged women. Suddenly, the computer became the tool of everybody: young and old and male and female. The introduction of Social Gaming, through sites like Facebook, made it crucial that you have and maintain a large social network to help you in progressing in the game. Today, more than 70% of both men and women play games and they spend an average of over five hours a week on it, with women playing more than men. But the gaming industry continues to be dominated by men and still has trouble in creating enough interesting content for women.
