You have to wonder what might have been created had kids of 'that mindset' been drawn to real world activities instead of spinning their little lives away in that game creating ephemera

Skills learned (and projects created) from helping a group of friends host and run a minecraft server back in the day directly contributed to me acquiring a very lucrative position at a Fortune 100 company. This game inspired quite a few people, especially those who are a bit techy (what with all it's redstone circuits and such). There are worse ways to spend your time as a youth.
