Scientists study how the brain thinks about virtual avatars - http://www.wow.com/2009...
"A group of scientists at Dartmouth University hooked a few WoW players up to an MRI recently, and they found that when asked to describe themselves and their virtual avatars, the same areas of the brain activated -- areas normally suited to "self-reflection and judgement." - francois schnell

How your brain sees virtual you - life - 06 November 2009 - New Scientist - http://www.newscientist.com/article...
"Brain scans of avid players of the hugely popular online fantasy world World of Warcraft reveal that areas of the brain involved in self-reflection and judgement seem to behave similarly when someone is thinking about their virtual self as when they think about their real one. - francois schnell

Tobold's MMORPG Blog: Generation conflict theory applied to MMORPGs - http://tobolds.blogspot.com/2009...
" The generation X version of roleplaying was Everquest: punishing, and abusive, and all about achievement, and beating the fixed challenges of the game. But EQ had inherited a social component from D&D, almost involuntarily: If you create the Matrix in the generation X style as objective reality against which players bang their head, the real-life fact that doing something together is usually easier than doing something alone invariably sneeks in. The more punishing and abusive you make the virtual world, the more players are forced to play together, to cooperate. But generation X is a generation of lone wolfs cherishing their independance, and so they called this feature "forced grouping" and hated it. - francois schnell

Tobold's MMORPG Blog: Generation conflict - http://tobolds.blogspot.com/2009...
" Clint says that generation X "doesn't play nice with other people", but they prefer abusive, punishing, single-player games, or multiplayer games in which they dominate the other players. Generation Y is a lot more social oriented (not unlike baby boomers), cooperative, and prefer games that hand out rewards left and right, and are very forgiving. - francois schnell

Richard A. Bartle: Players Who Suit MUDs - http://www.mud.co.uk/richard...
" Four approaches to playing MUDs are identified and described. These approaches may arise from the inter-relationship of two dimensions of playing style: action versus interaction, and world-oriented versus player-oriented. An account of the dynamics of player populations is given in terms of these dimensions, with particular attention to how to promote balance or equilibrium. This analysis also offers an explanation for the labelling of MUDs as being either "social" or "gamelike". - francois schnell

Greedy goblin: The end of the American and European dream - http://greedygoblin.blogspot.com/2009...
" In the ending decades of the last century the machines and computers reached the grade of development that they can do practically all non-creative work. Million-tons/year product industrial companies are handled by half dozen men, who are mostly sleeping as their job is to intervene in the case of emergency. The normal operation is completely run by computers. With 4-500 horsepower tractors a single farmer can grow food for thousands of men. A crew of a dozen can lead the largest transport ships across the sea. This automatization shows no end. We can see room cleaning robots, combat robots, dog-walking robots on IT business conventions and they will be in our homes (and armies) in 10-20 years. They are already dominating the agriculture and heavy industry, pushing the vast majority of the population to the services area. - francois schnell
