Jane McGonigal live at TED 2010
"Reality is broken," says IFTF's Jane McGonigal. "And we all need to tap into a collective sense of urgent optimism—as well as the ability and capacity to act now—to make the future."
At the TED 2010 conference this week Jane will be talking about how to work out real world problems in gaming spaces and how gaming can change the world.
Jane's official TED talk is on Thursday, February 11 but she will be liveblogging updates throughout the week here on iftf.org starting on Wednesday, February 10.
Wired.com's Kim Zetter recently spoke to Jane about the role games play in inducing happiness as part of their ongoing TED 2010 coverage. You can read the full article here.
Jane was also featured at the end of CNN's Ten Big Ideas from TED 2010 video.
