The Edge World Question Center's 2009 What will change the world

Ok, I would like to think that this is the year, esp if Google picks my entry LILA, that Digital Game-Based Learning starts to change the world by offering free ubiquitous exponentially fast learning for everyone.

I'd like to think....

Slouching Towards the Concept of Social Network Gaming...

The Game is the social network. And play is the goal. Everything else will happen easier when that is established as a fundamental condition. The Game is the operating system, platform, browser and application. And when Self Actualization is the core mission, self-estemm, love, security and all our basic physical needs arise as a result.

Here there is a glimmer...

siRNA is a Game!

siRNA is a technology for delivering payloads to the DNA of a cell. The Tobacco Mosaic Virus is stripped inside and loaded with a goodie that does the work with little or no side effects.

siRNA could be developed within a Game Based Learning Environment!

Or if you prefer, Game Based Research!

Does Web 2.0 increase our 'Collective Intelligence?'

Not sure if this is an ad for Meetup, but it's point does seem to speak to my main ideas re Digital Game Based Learning. The thing that is needed is assessment. How do we know what we are doing is increasing intelligence? Or not?
So, a measurement that conveys a unit increase in 'intelligence' per unit measure of time for ANY given activity can perhaps be the new holy grail for everything we do. Here is a fabulous way of defining values for the evolution of humanity.

Read that last paragraph again. And again.
