Games are what people do for fun, but some believe that it may change the world. Jane McGonigal, a game designer, believes that digital games can change the world. Jane McGonigal is the director of game research and development for the Insitute for the Future. She believes that there are problems throughout reality, and believes that games could fix this void in reality. Alternate reality games will help fix problems throughout the world such as: poverty, disease, hunger, and climate change. An example of a game that helped change society was World Without Oil. This game forced the players to act as if there was no oil in their lives. This would impace how their families and them travel. The players of World Without Oil, have not only changed their daily habits, but are spreading the word throughout the community. This shows that video games can and will make a difference throughout the world. By using videogames, the world can be changed by taking away resources and other things that we use everyday. By taking away these things, it will show that by overusing these resources can be a diaster for us in the future. This would be a diaster because we would completely run out of that resource and it could be gone for forever. Videogames can help the world and the people that live there.
