IMAGINE1 - 2020 - Where will I be?
I've been thinking a lot about this lately. I've made a decent career for myself, but I'm starting to feel restless, and starting to feel like I have more to contribute than perhaps my job requires at the moment.
I'll be finishing graduate school this summer, and I have a couple ideas I'd like to pitch at my university. Some of them have to do with video games, and the academic study of games. I found out about Evoke doing research and coming across Jane McGonigal's talk at TED. I think Evoke is a fascinating experiment, so I decided to participate.
If my life progresses in the way I hope, I'll be teaching about video games and about how they promote learning, literacy, and greater understanding. I've been reading James Paul Gee and others while working on papers for my courses this semester, and I think there are great changes coming from the game generation - regardless of your age. I'm in my forties, but I'm still part of the game generation, I think, since I've been playing since the days of Atari, and video games brought me to my current career in the tech industry.
By 2020, I hope to have been involved in a networking of like-minded people in academic communities across the country, figuring out how we can turn our love of games into social action as well as entertainment. Jane's talk at TED gave voice to many of the ideas I've been thinking about lately, and I see ways that gamers can make a big difference in the social and cultural landscape over the next decade.
In 2020, I'd like to be a teacher, maybe an author, a speaker - and I hope I'm still a gamer :)

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
