Social – August 2011
Video Gaming
Do you know people who play World of Warcraft, Farmville, Second Life or have created their own Avatar? The population of our planet spends 3 billion hours a week playing video games. We also spend real money exploring virtual worlds for imaginary treasures. Why are we doing this? Is it worth it? What if we could harness this gamer power to solve real-world problems?
Can video games make us better and how will they change the world? Video games are becoming the medium for everyday life that will reshape education and commerce.
