Fundamentally, one must ask what&#39;s causing the world&#39;s problems that can be solved by gaming? I would argue government coercion. Arguably, an online gaming environment is an ideal place to practice <a href="http://www.podiobooks.com/title/the-market-for-liberty" rel="nofollow">anarchy.</a> The idea that online games can teach people they don&#39;t need to be <i>governed</i> to have

Gaming can Change the World is an awesome video. Truly inspiring (it gave me goose bumps:)) Keep up the good work and best of luck with everything!

I watched your TED talk with mixed emotions. In the end I concluded you&#39;re doing a good thing if you can salvage something, anything, out of the gamers. From my perspective (someone who has for decades been working on such problems, driving and overdriving imagination to come up with the off the wall crazy but it will work solutions to worl situations) the gamers have always seemed the most

Brilliant, refreshing, exuberant... thank you so much!! Video games are still in their infancy, there is much work to be done. People like you WILL change that! Keep up the amazing work! &lt;3

I’m really excited about this game. Finally a game about the things that really matter;Investigate the trailer for secret facts about the EVOKE network: where it goes, how it works, who it helps, and the problems it solves. Share what you discover — or your best guesses — in the comments.the obvious question would be: what kind of crisis it solved in those ten years?<br /><a href="http://

Great Talk! I don&#39;t play games myself but I&#39;ve been making art for video games for 15 years and it&#39;s refreshing to hear how they may positively impact the future.<br />How do we bring the best in all of us from the virtual to the real world...perhaps by understanding that there really isn&#39;t any difference between the two.

Hi Jane,<br /><br />I use to play World of Warcraft myself for a couple of years and I can relate to where you are coming from. Looking back I have experienced the kindness of strangers, something that would not occur in actual life. I have noticed that I am more confident and am willing to try something over and over again to finish a task. <br /><br />I remember countless amounts of times where

Question, how do you deal with people taking advantage of others? How do you deal with people that won&#39;t accept anything but your demise? How do you take ideas generated like this and make them happen? How do you deal with a world that is PvP and some players just enjoy hurting others? How do you bring about peace in a world where some players get their kicks not from completing epic quests

Dear Jane<br />Thank you for a video and such a great idea. You’ve made a good point. Somewhere on the middle of your speech I thought “WOW, she wants to send all gamers to other worlds (Other Planets)”. Well, I was wrong. I like the idea about 10,000 hours rule, because it works in my case at least for one of my skills, drawing. <br />I do understand why people spend a lot of time in the virtual

Thank you Jane, this was such an inspiring talk. <br /><br />As someone who has been playing game for majority of my life, it is great and refreshing to get a deeper insight into games, gamers and how we can make the world a better place. I completely agree with the idea that games can make the world a better place, although I feel the greatest challenge would be to get the majority of people (

One thing I think a lot of people don&#39;t realise about gaming is the managerial skills required for, say, battlegrounds. Sometimes it&#39;s a complete rabble, and sometimes someone comes in and can just command respect and get (almost) everyone to work together as a team, even though we are all complete strangers, and the one giving the orders might be a twelve year old. <br /><br />Also, I&

Hi Jane!<br /><br />I just got in contact with the Evoke trailer 2 days ago! I was so impressed that I started to search for all the information related to it in the internet and finally I found your talk at TED 2010. Wow! I decided to play the game! Me and my friends at Instituto Elos in Brazil have been exploring the power of games in the real life to change real life. There are so many

Jane, <br /><br />Great stuff. I think you are a FAR better ambassador for game-based learning (notice I don&#39;t say &quot;serious games&quot;) than Ben Sawyer, and I mean no disrespect to Ben!<br /><br />As a former speaker at TED 2009 in Palm Springs and founder of TEDxPeachtree, I think you&#39;ll find that I complement your passion.

Brilliant and inspiring. I am really happy Johannes from monochrom brought me onto your track. I have, since the age of 12 (which was 15 yrs ago), aspired to become a game designer --- and I have lived my life in great amount in fantasy worlds (not only online, but also LARPing or just imagining stories).<br /><br />I share your enthusiasm!
