I really enjoyed this reading because
it had given me a more detailed explanation of the impacts that video
game could have on us. It is kind of funny because I've been looking
for so many ways to improve life this past year. The thing I find to
be funny is the fact that I had seen this TED talk a few months ago.
Not to belittle her great plans for our future, but this is the kind
of thinking that I want from everyone. Thinking that will change the
world for the better in a fun interactive way. Video games to me are
just a small part of what needs to happen for a BETTER WORLD. The
main purpose of McGonial's message that I got from this reading and
the video was probably different than many of her other viewers. I
didn't focus on the impact of the video games, but rather the impact
of a having a completely different perspective. Like I said I do not
want to take away from what McGonial is doing, but all she is doing
is spreading her ideology which is allowing her audience to “play”
life like a video game. Not to get me wrong I think this is a great
idea, and that is why I encourage these kinds of ideas. This kind of
thinking allows us to lessen the harsh structural and attitudinal
inharencies that we have to face throughout life.
