From Kevin a discussion of Gamification from Slate Magazine. The article by Heather Chaplin, Gamification: Ditching reality for a game isn’t as fun as it sounds (Tuesday, March 29, 2011) discusses Jane McGonigal’s book Reality Is Broken among other things. Chaplin makes the point that gamification isn’t really that fun and that it is hardly likely to help with the serious ways reality is broken.
