Suggests that digital divide is closing... sort of. A programming language and a programming paradigm can shape how we engineer a world. As with our natural languages perhaps there is a cognitive dimension, but without having to even reach that far it is safe to say that engineering practices establish approaches to problem-solving that bias solutions. These practices are hard to ignore in especially high-stakes, risk-adverse software development environments.

MMORPGs vary in their sociability -- this is the lowest that you can get. First is crisis known for 30 years -- fourth grade slump. Reading skills at fourth grade drop--scores for reading are good until 4th grade, but when reading is used to learn other subjects, this falls off. New crisis is exemplified by Friedman's "Flat World" -- the college slump. We are outsourcing all sorts of commoditized jobs, high and low-- all standardized jobs are being sent to other countries. Innovation and creativity is the source of new industry.

When Roy Trubshaw and I worked on MUD1, we saw it as a means of giving people freedom. For players, freedom to do and to be; for us, freedom to make our imaginations real (well, OK, virtual). Most of the early UK virtual worlds that followed had that same sense of idealism. After our "high energy" presentation, the questions were even stranger. Someone asked why humanities research got left out, and we had to say that we couldn't find it to be directly relevant on our top 10 list of bulleted points. Ian made the point, and I agreed, that doing the research for this panel made us think differently about academic research. While I'm not going to say that what we've done personally has no value, it was a definite challenge to try and make it *directly relevant* in a BULLETED POINT for developers.

It could be finishing a difficult quest, or gathering a certain amount of faction / reputation points with the non-player characters. For the purpose of this article, I will limit myself to goals that are measurable, and leave out goals like "impressing my fellow players". To be a source of motivation, the goal has to be achievable within some medium-term timeframe, such as a single play session.
