Meaning of Games: Learning

Collating more thoughts on the Meaning of Games:

“Games can also give people very different perpectives on things. An 8 year old who played Sim City was riding in a car and asked “That’s industrial Why did they put that there? It’s right next to a residential zone”. It’s amazing that a game can teach an 8 year old to see things like that.” — Will Wright  (Functional Autonomy » Blog Archive » Will Wright Talk @ BAFTA)

Gaming does have the power to teach.  But when will we start using this power wisely?
