i have always wondered if society could get something useful out of gaming other than entertainment (not saying entertainment isn't good or not useful). gamers seem to have this uncanny ability to focus in on a game for hundreds, if not thousands, of hours, becoming skilled well beyond any of the developers' dreams. even when i was younger i could poor hours into games like that. it's pretty amazing, because i don't really feel like i see as many people doing that for other things.
