Last decade Social - next decade a Game Framework? Thoughts by Seth Priebatschc

Found this this morning on Cemanthe's New Media Angels website - so what's going to happen in the next ten Years?

The Game Layer on Top of the World

Fantastically interesting talk from Seth Priebatsch, from SCVNGR. By now, we’re used to letting Facebook and Twitter capture our social lives on the web — building a “social layer” on top of the real world. At TEDxBoston, Seth Priebatsch looks at the next layer in progress: the “game layer,” a pervasive net of behavior-steering game dynamics that will reshape education and commerce.

"This next decade is all about the the game layer which is about "influence" and not about social influence that was about connecting you, it's about using forces about influencing behaviour and what you will do there, it will become more powerful than the social layer. It is still under construction and it's important that we think consciously about this". Seth Priebatsch


Thank you Cemanthe for this - my mind is stretched!
