Mcgonigal presents a very interesting hypothesis. Many people have wondered how to harness the power and work that gamers put in to achieve more productive gains. Jane Mcgonigal is the first that I’ve heard of that that had a completely altruistic motivation for doing so. She presents an interesting, and possibly viable scenario that gamers might just be our saviors. My question is this; what social problem would you have her tackle next? She tackled issues such as oil consumption and human extinction, but are there more pressing issues that you’d prefer? What about race relations with police that are spiraling out if control? Would our world be a better place if we stopped the mass use of pesticides, eradicating bees and needlessly evolving bacteria? If this truly would be a global force for good, where would you focus their efforts?
