Gabe Zichermann gave a TED Talk where he discussed how video games can engage people and build strong organizations. He believes games from the 21st century are making children smarter, not dumber. Zichermann incorporated both informational and humorous stories into his lecture from his personal experience playing games like the Atari 2600 as a child. He also noted the 1990s game Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? as being influential because it drew in both children and adults. Overall, Zichermann was able to engage the audience through his presentation style despite some disfluencies in his speech.
