Jane McGonical - http://www.ted.com/talks/jane_mcgonigal_gaming_can_make_a_better_world.html

After watch Jane McGonical's video, I think her idea is cool that playing video game can make world better since player can solve a lot problem in the game. However, to me I think for now video game is just an entertainment; people play video games to relax.  Playing video game cannot really make the world better since it is just virtual stuff. The only thing it help is that people can stay at home playing video games at night instead making trouble at outside.  Since she talk about World of Warcraft , saying in the game , people have complete a lot of quests. However, I don't think it has any help since most of the quests are similar. And it has nothing to help in the real world. Maybe in the future, the quest will be more interest such like the player need to solve a question by using logic , math , or knowledge of chemistry. At that time, the video game will truly make the world better since people can gain knowledge buy solving the problem. But for now video games are just a tool for entertainment. People play it to relax and have fun; and this is the purpose of video games.
