Great TED talk from Jane McGonigal about how gaming can make a better world.
I’m not a gamer. Every week the guys in the office play Call of Duty and I never join them. I consider social networking to be my ‘game’ (despite the lack of competition involved, it’s more about sharing information and building relationships for me). This video is making me second guess my reaction to playing. I think I’ll start playing next week on a regular basis to interface with some of our guys a bit in the game setting. If nothing else, I feel like this video justifies their game bonding and makes me wonder what other skills they’re building while they’re picking off fellow players with automatic weapons.
