After watching TED Talk "Reinventing the encyclopedia game" by Rives.
TED Talk
Encyclopedia game sounds fun but mysterious at the beginning. I started to watch this out of curiosity. This talk was obviously fun and encouraging. Rives showed how we can play Wikipedia. I learned that Wikipedia is a place where we can not only put the information and edit, but also explore and feel adventurous. I think the more and more people contribute to Wikipedia, which means the bigger collective intelligence we have there, the more this game will be fun. I tried to do this game starting from my hometown, I was able to know more about its history, but then I ended up specific area of different city where I hadn't known before. I used to think that game should have a winner or competition system, but I have to re-define 'game' which is just fun to do.
