In the movie “Wargames” a semi-famous line is uttered by a computer named Joshua. The line is “shall we play a game?” For those of you who do not know, the movie follows a scenario where a young man engages the computer in what he thinks is a game, however, it turns into a slide towards thermonuclear war. Remember, this is the eighties and war with the USSR was always on our minds. The young man must finally engage the computer in a game of tic-tac-toe so he can teach it the futility of nuclear war. Recently, I found out about another, much more hopeful, version of using games to learn important knowledge or skills.
