I am a fan of watching Ted videos. They’re quick and – most of the time – mentally stimulating. Recently, I stumbled across two videos by online game developers that speak to important lessons we might, could, should, and may be forced to learn from gaming.

Jesse Schell's point is that all kinds of games are invading the real world and he envisions that a future where experience points break "out of the box" and into every part of our daily lives. Perhaps even save energy. Click here.
