Gaming and the Internet: A Solution for the Future?

This is a very interesting subject, which I don't believe receives much attention.

In regards to the information age, I believe forum use can in actuality have a huge impact on society, if used correctly. While ideas can be shared in traditional forms, such as newspaper and through public interaction, young adults and children have the "internet age" as part of their everyday life. That said, it is pretty easy to identify that modern societies are headed in the technology-oriented direction. Keeping this in mind, one can only begin to imagine all of the possibilities that the internet can serve. One issue, however, is where it is currently. Presently, anything can be found on the internet, and no validation is necessary. While this freedom of speech is wonderful, it is nice to have some sort of accuracy behind reasoning. I think if a structured forum were to be set up, that illustrated individuals' ideas, then positive changes could come about. For example, instead of just posting random thoughts with little to no explanation, the forum could have guidelines for each post. I believe there are a lot of intelligent and creative ideas circulating within cyberspace, they just need to be brought to the forefront in an apparent manner.
As for game play, some games can help facilitate positive change. However, I don't believe current games do this very much, or at least not to the extent that I'm thinking. For example, if a game were to illustrate in detail certain problems, such as poverty and warfare from a victims point of view, I believe more people would recognize the issues as being realistic.
