In 2010, professor and game designer Jesse Schell gave an amazing talk at the DICE gaming summit that went viral. His topic: the gamification—the adding of points and play systems—to everything imaginable. He imagined a crazy future where we got points for everything from brushing teeth to giving each other high fives.
You’ll laugh. You’ll agree. You’ll probably disagree, too. Enjoy!
NOTE: If you’re pressed for time and just want to see one crazy, great bit, jump to 10:36.
Oh, and warning, the end’s a bit weird. Poor guy.
