App games (games you can play on a smartphone or tablet) have recently been a weakness of mine. Games fascinate me, especially when I find one that is enjoyable, beautiful, and challenging. I do work hard to stay focused on more important things, though, (education, work, family, friends) to avoid spending countless hours on handheld video games. It often feels like a struggle to avoid too much technology.
Every so often, I come across something that only brings out the best of everything. A friend showed me a really neat game that you can't play by yourself. The game is designed so that you have to play with other people, up to 8 in a group! There is cooperation and real interaction, even though the game is mainly available as an Apple or Android app. Using technology to strengthen human cooperation and interaction? Now you're talking! Me and my friends played this game for a couple hours straight, having lots of laughs together as we played!
I am grateful for an example of technology use at its best.
