Jane McGonigal says gaming can make a better world. Challenging people now with games that endorse problems of the future can save us from having them. Games like World of Warcraft give players the means to save worlds, and incentive to learn the habits of heroes. What if we could harness this gamer power to solve real-world problems? By spending all this time playing games we are actually changing what we are capable of as human beings, we are evolving to be more collaborative.
Games are a super powerful platform for change. I came to think that we actually have super hero powers. Genius! Jane McGonigal@TED explains how.
