Saving the World in Real Life
By using my visual notes I believe that Jane McGonigal wants to make it easier for people to save the world in real life. Online gamers spend about 3 million hours a week playing games. But in order to solve the worlds most urgent problems, we will need to increase to 21 million hours a week. Being a gamer, this sounds like a terrific plan but why some people might ask? From what i got from my sketches and the video, gamers feel more successful playing video games then they do in real life. Success can come from accomplishing a mission, leveling up or beating the opposing team. In the real world, we don't receive level ups, our missions aren't as fun and we don't always have an opposing team to beat up on. Jane feels we need to create a game with real life situations so gamers can come up with multiple ways of solving them.
