This is a lady who said she always wished she had model spacecrafts handy (?) So she has made Dawn and plans to make more!

19th Oct Lesson 5

Thinking about the experience in games, that in life, no two are the same, even with the same event, say a game you and a friend have played. You've done the exact same things but you will have felt differently to your friend.
We drew from our own experiences, good and bad to think of our own examples of this.
We touched upon the psycology behind the money making schemes of 'free to play' games, wherein they create neccesity over pretend in game objects so people give up their money. Same as Facebook games, text based, but with the advertising and the bringing of friends together in a simple way they create millions.
We then looked at technology that is soon to be released, such as the Google Glasses. This kind of technology will utilise gamification, which has been tried before but sometimes technology is a little too early and people arent ready, with it being an ongoing project it may one day be part of everyday gaming. Looking at technology such as seen in Star Trek, making it seem possible one day.
