Gamification Of The Human Mind

Roman satirical poet Juvenal once wrote that all people really want are bread and games (paraphrased). Now a program doesn't need any bread, and neither does the computer it runs on, but you can't blame the poet for not writing something that would stand the test of time in its entirety. The part that does stand the test of time is the latter part, the games part. This still holds true in its initial intend, what with all the sports teams, and fans of them, the millions of viewers around the world, if not billions even. Even computer games are now part of this, overtaking regular games rapidly in popularity.
