the enculturation of digital information and communication technologies has just started, and within the emerging practices like those of pervasive gaming we might just be seeing the first steps of a new culture being created through the human use of those new tools rather than humans just blindly accepting the uses these technologies impose on them.

spatial expansion is a natural way of creating exercise games.

... many people consider exercise as a boring activity, with goals set into the distant future. By enhancing the exercise with the continous microgoals and rewards that are typical of gaming, the activity can be made immediately rewarding.
