How Gaming Is Changing The World

[Chazlene]

Hmm... Not sure if I agree that gaming has a positive effect on employment, since it cause problems such as being anti-social and addiction, some people even giving up their day jobs to play more computer games. That last fact is interesting though, and could be tested out, although it might result in self-discipline becoming non-existent, if everything becomes enjoyable. After reading this it seems that work and play have both inspired each other, games probably taking the concept of ranks and achievements from the military for example, while other jobs are now incorporating 'leveling up', etc. after looking at computer games, as it says in the article.

Nice find anyway Daemon.

It's just employers tacking advantage over nerds who obsess over games.

I can see what he means by the fact that putting in that you run a guild (like Chalex has done for his university app) shows allot of organisational skills etc.

well in this thread, you could say employers have done a lot already, esp to the warcraft community.

Selling gold, farming gold, power leveling etc makes money using a lot of employees who are all addicted to the game
