Enabling Technologies are Technologies which support the process of Gamification
Learn how to Use Enabling Technologies
The Internet of Things and Sensors are Examples of Enabling Technologies
Why is Gamification especially important Today?
Why should this be critical to the future of society?
Look around any city at the buildings and infrastructure
Reflect on the technologies we take for granted in our daily lives
These are the manifestation of the collective efforts of our Civilisation
They are born out of the ideas, dreams, passions and abilities of generations of individuals…..
.. who have been able to influence and motivate the actions of other human beings on a massive
collective scale
No individual working alone has a fraction of the physical and mental strengths needed to develop
the world we live in today
From Ancient Greek philosophers through Religious Leaders and Renaissance geniuses to modern day
business moguls
It has been the efforts and abilities of generations of citizens to Gamify their world which has led and
motivated other citizens to follow them
This has been responsible for the wonderful and incredible world we live in today
It is our ability to Gamify that influences the actions and motivations of others and consequently shapes
both ourselves and our world
The Gamification process is a highly personalisedactivity and different for any individual
Think About Two Things from TodayMeasurement/Feedback and Challenges
A critical component in Gamification is the ability to measure and visualise change
Measurement and visualisation of change provides feedback
Access to feedback from our actions is an essential part of learning and development
Positive feedback can reinforce behaviour and negative feedback cause changed behaviour
Without challenges there is no motivation to shape the world
Challenges are an essential part of life and our continuous development
As we develop and adapt to our world, the challenges and levels of awareness, affectedness
and activation weaken
Emerging measurement and feedback technologies generate fresh challenges which can transform us from spectators into fans, players and even games masters
Triggering our basic human need to shape our world by influencing the actions, behaviours, characteristics and state of entities within our world is vital to our future
The Future is in Your Hands
