Hundreds of millions of people globally—174 million in the United States alone—regularly inhabit virtual worlds because they provide the rewards, challenges, and victories that are often lacking in everyday life. Jane McGonigal, who studies games that require and harness the power of collective intelligence, will discuss why games are engineered to maximize human potential and how they can change and influence life in the real world.
Proudly sponsored by Judy and Josh Weston.
