This a great talk from Jane creating a link between the basic human desire to be successful and how that might be tapped into in order to solve some of the world's largest problems.

Gaming's an unlikely starting point but as she quite insightfully points out, in games we are "Motivated to do something that matters, inspired to collaborate and cooperate...When we're in gameworld - many of us become the best version of ourselves."

She also references Malcolm Gladwell's book Outliers and his observation that it takes 10,000 hours to create a virtuoso. Interestingly, by the time your average young adult hits 21 they've completed 10,000 hours playing video games.

She asks and answers what it is that gamers are becoming virtuoso at. Definitely worth a watch and she's a great speaker.

Here are the links to the games mentioned at the end of the presentation.
