Our discussions yesterday about the Gregory Bartman activity got me thinking about this video. TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design) is a global set of conferences that is owned by a non-profit organization with the goal of sharing "ideas worth spreading". They have been running these conferences for over 20 years.
In no way am I endorsing the below video as "Truth". I did, however, think there were some intriguing ideas and connections to what we were talking yesterday, specifically why games can be addictive and provide a sense of fulfillment for some individuals and possible skills that games can develop.
