Will videogames become better than life? David Perry on TED.com

Game designer David Perry says tomorrow's videogames will be more than mere fun to the next generation of gamers. They'll be lush, complex, emotional experiences -- more involving and meaningful to some than real life. (Recorded February 2006 in Monterey, California. Duration: 21:06.)
