We need 21 billion hours of game play every week for a better world

One positive opinion about online gaming was found after my research. Jane McGonigal stated that gaming can make a better world.  The epic story that happened 2,500 years ago she shared was interesting. A cool game controller was designed from sheep's knuckles. In those days, ancient people played dice with sheep's knuckles as a controller. The dice game was invented in the kingdom of Lydia during a time of famine, and Greek historian Herodotus invented the game and helped people forget their hungers caused from famine. It is true. In my experience, I could forget the pain feelings or stress from being broken up with my ex-girlfriend after playing a game. Gaming can help us not obsessed with our negative feelings.

Also, she shared another cool fact that gamers are learning the way to survive in the real world when the oil runs out. They are playing the game called "World Without Oil." The game gives them real-time news, videos, data feeds that show them exactly how much oil costs, what's not available, how food supply is being affected, etc. It's quite interesting, and such a simulation gaming can help us how to cooperate with people and prepare for the future disaster.
