Is Gaming the Answer to Our Global Problems?

Watch this TED talk about gaming as a solution to our problems:





As a non-gamer, this TED talk raised many questions for me:

• Will gamers like real-world solutionary games as much as Warcraft?
• Is the speaker’s vision and call for more gaming likely to achieve the results she suggests?
• Does gaming 22 hours/week on top of school or work leave time for real-life solutionary efforts?
• Does the optimism of gamers spill over into engaged changemaking work?

If there are gamers out there who read our blog, I’m eager to know. Please share your thoughts.
