Oops

     I may be a little late on posting this one, but at least I'm getting to it.  I love the idea of using games to help out society by digitizing books and improving search engines.  The coolest thing about it is that the games are actually fun and the player often isn't aware that they aren't just playing a game.  I hope that more of these games are created in the future, especially if they can be made educational.  I have always found that the best way for me to learn is to turn studying into some sort of a game.  The internet needs more games like the translation game described in the video we watched in class.  I feel that these applications of technology improve many aspects of our society including; ourselves, the internet, and our efficiency.  By creating more accurate online searches and translating pages correctly, we will waste less time online trying to decipher Russian translations and find specific images.  All in all, I am a huge fan of these types of crowd sourcing.
