Videos Games for social change - shut the fu&* up

This is easily my favorite question of all-time. Why? It perfectly
illustrates how you can take anything (well, almost anything) and
directly apply it to solving some of our biggest needs. Passion +
Strengths + Needs = Harmony. Love it.

Question:

Hi Josh,

I was at your presentation to the University of Maryland a few weeks
ago. I was majorly inspired and you taught me a lot. I would like
some more information and maybe you could help me find my own way to
help change the world and make a profit. I am double Majoriing in
Media Arts & Technology and Advertising. I am really interested in
Web Design and video game development. What do you think I could do
with that in the real world?

Answer:

Really great to hear from you. Short answer: a lot!  See below ...
