Here is the transcript of a portion of the show. The transcript does not contain Dr. Schell's comments on the world of Facebook and the enormous size of Facebook. Please note those comment in the video of Dr. Schell about the future:
The last speaker is Ms Jane McGonigal she introduces two head shapers:
- Right now we spend three billion hours a week playing online games.
- The average young person today in a country with a strong gamer culture will have spent 10,000 hours playing online games by the age of 21. For children in the United States, 10,080 hours is the exact amount of time you will spend in school from fifth grade to high school graduation, if you have perfect attendance.
But in our game, instead of just having five people on the dream team, we said everybody is on the dream team, and it's your job to invent the future of energy, the future of food, the future of health, the future of security and the future of the social safety net. We had 8,000 people play that game for eight weeks. They came up with 500 insanely creative solutions that you can go online if you Google "Superstruct" and see it.Ms McGonal's presentation:
Well there is a bad hitch. At "www.superstruct.com" there is bupkiss; at the "archive.superstructgame.net" there is more bupkiss. What a piece of work! There is no back up, no alternative site, nothing. The work of 8000 people over 8 weeks. Gone! This is like Barry's, the Head Gamer in Total and Complete Charge, stimulus plan's money...just gone. It too could have saved the world or at least the US. I guess gamers are as jive as Barry. When it comes to bombing Libya or anything else both of their work is superb. However when it comes to being useful gamers and Barry got no game.
However, Sharky&Sharky searched high and low and found the remaining ruins of Superstruct, the first 22 names of the Superstruct and Authors. Maybe some great scholar can use this as a "Rosetta Stone" in the future.
