A comment on the imploding chaos of the convergence that hopefully entertains, enlightens, educates, reminds and shares ideas that might stand out and make a remarkable difference.
For those outside the
gaming world ‘Spore’ is the latest project from Will Wright one of the game
industry's most fertile minds and the creator of the groundbreaking SimCity and The Sims, which has to date sold over 100
million copies worldwide. Wright has created the the Spore 3D creature creator with over a one million creatures being created in the space of a week.
Asked what he wanted people
to get out of spore Wright said, “One of his goals for this whole thing has
been to give somebody an awe-inspiring global view of reality, almost like a
drug-induced epiphany with a computer. The kind of, "Oh, man, what if we
were a molecule inside of a galaxy?" type thing. Can we transfer that
experience -- that, I don't want to say drug-induced, but I guess it is, or
almost theological meaning-of-life-type experience -- into an interactive
computer game?
