iHCPL #35 Games and gaming

I am not a gamer, they truly hold no interest for me. My family bought a Pong game, that great inovation, when they came out. I was bored with that and have never really been interested since. However, I did very much enjoy playing on Free Rice, not only testing my own knowledge and learning something new, but feeding the world at the same time. I also played in the kids game, writing nonsensical stories of purple spagetti and smelled like feet. I do think online games have their place in the learning environment, kids attention spans are so short these days, thanks to fast moving everything, a game that can make them stop and think is good. I also discovered that online games, even the simple ones that I played in, take a tremendous amount of time, and one can get lost in the action or ones own head. All in all, I enjoyed the experience and hope to continue to feed the world.
