How looking at the computer games we play can predict the future
I occasionally compile interesting quotes. I was just adding one to my list today and I came across a gem I mined some years ago:
“Computer games don’t affect kids; I mean, if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music”. - Kristian Wilson, Nintendo Inc, 1989
So perhaps all we need to do is to look at the computer games of today to predict the future… :-)
