Will Wright's "Spore": Not a gadget, but coming to one near you very soon

Will Wright, the inventor of SimCity and related games, is, in my view, the greatest systems thinking educator the world has ever seen. His games are played by millions of people. Through the dynamics of simulation and the motivation of gaming fun, they quickly transition through metalevels of complexity and develop requisite variety in problem-solving that will serve them throughout life.

Watch this 35–minute film of Will’s presentation at a gaming conference and you’ll see why I think this is the convergence of CAD, simulation, UI, and transformative education.
