How To Save The World, One Video Game At A Time

How To Save The World, One Video Game At A TimeEvery week people across the globe spend 3 billion hours playing video games — but that isn't enough for Jane McGonigal. She told an audience at last year's TED conference in California that we need to play more.

"If we want to solve problems like hunger, poverty, climate change, global conflict, obesity," she said, "I believe that we need to aspire to play games online for at least 21 billion hours a week by the end of the next decade."

"What I'm trying to change is this perception that playing a game is just a waste of time," she said. "We know that it has a real impact on how we think and how we act."
