I just watched this video from industry great, Dave Perry, from the TED conference. I have seen Dave speak on many occasions, I have even shared a panel or two with him, but his talk here is particularly good and, as you will experience, contains one of the most powerful messages I have seen in quite some time on the impact of video games. In his talk, he presents a student film that deconstructs the kind of behavior and possibility space that video games can teach, provide and, in fact, effect change in those who live in the digital space. Worlds in the scanlines.

Please, if you don't have time to watch the whole video, just jump ahead to 10:05 and watch the student piece. Amazing.
