Gaming - Design and Use

Game Design for computers and for consoles holds the promise of a new visual literacy that will help define the Technology Revolution.

Creating Socially Sustainable games that explore the challenges of environment, space, the ocean and human culture on earth and in space is the next stage we must see game design go.

Games which celebrate the peaceful creation of culture and the non-violent exploration of new realms will add so much to the library of games we have available today.

Game design which explores the issues of social and economic development will help us solve problems which much be solved.

What are your ideas on socially sustainable game design and use?

Should there be more than one or two DSL providers to choose from? Should Internet Access be guaranteed for low income families and seniors?

These and other questions will be the focus of this blog discussion. Let us know what you think.
