-Play-
Note: I really should be heading to bed, but I just had to write.
Before we could speak our first words, before we can even hold up our own heads, I'm convinced that within the cheeky eyes of a baby, there's already a desire to play.
Games exert a primal power over the human being; after the basics of food, shelter and clothes we must entertain ourselves. In doing such, harnessing the power and what may seem an indomitable creative streak. Humanity truly is a game, its how we build our greatest alliances, it is how people build complex thought on overcoming what seems the obvious or less obvious observation of a plot.
Culture in itself takes hold in the cradle of play, as is at the moment corporate strategy. Corporations seeking creativity from employees let loose to toy around. Take note, the entertainment industry and google. Concept of games have found itself lurking in the corners of adulthood. No more is the gameboy for the adolescent, note the multi billion dollar gaming industry.
Perhaps sense of play should be extended further instead of being withheld. To me, play is all about education, it's all about culture. Students who play (responsibly, mind you...) seem to unlock the cheat codes that underpin the education of which they're suppose to receive. Some toy around with words, some become engineers, some play with politicians, some with colors... Ideally, approaching life as a designer, move within the rules that you ought to, yet to tap into the whole concept of play to improve.
As said previously, play isn't all serious... Play is the pursuit of fun, figuring out what makes one tick. But one thing's for sure... it shouldn't belong to just kids anymore.
----------------------
Works for an evil conglomerate who at times lose track of playing as profit. Yet has days that seem like a giant puzzle to solve, some days pieces are missing and pictures are lost.
Finds words the same way, to twist and turn structures and vocabulary, though would place himself at the novice level.
and of course, there's always the state of play...
