TED talks response
I really thought I wouldn't be interested in TED talks because it would be overwhelming technology that I wouldn't understand. However when I went to the website I went under the Jaw-dropping sub-catagory because I thought that could be potentially interesting. After doing a little browsing I saw Will Wright makes toys that make worlds and clicked that as my choice. Turns out it was not an overwhelming, boring lecture, but a really interesting new game coming out that I would even want to play. Will Wright a game designer and the creator of the hit game The Sims, has developed a new kind of game that he believes can help to change the future of our world. It is a game of creating species and civilizations on worlds throughout the galaxy, while you as the player getting to design and create on your own. His idea is that it is hard to picture and understand the effects of actions over such long periods of time but by having them happen right before you in minutes on this game we can begin to wrap our heads around it. The player gets to design and create their characters in simple steps and continues building and designing how ever they want through the rest of the game. By using fact and science fiction the game has so many different ways it can head all on account of what you choose to do. It seems really fun and easy, but still challenging and thought provoking. I will play it and I don't even really play video games.
