Gaming

This is a dangerous area for me as I can easily become addicted to computer games. I love math games and quick reaction skill games as well as hunt and find games. I haven't done much online collaborative gaming, but I can certainly see the attraction in it.

I think there is loads of learning potential in gaming that could be applied to work situations. I could see many situations where it would be great to have a game that could teach staff how to do different tasks and maybe even work collaboratively on them, but it would require development to make a game for our specific types of jobs.

I think it is also important to take into consideration the fact that a whole generation of gamers are growing up with different expectations and we need to keep that in mind as we develop services.
