The Promise of Our Lifetime
Jeff Siegel
At 8, hanging his head off the end of his bed, Jeff Siegel thought: “What if there were no trees?” He pictured that world. “What if there was no grass?” Erasing houses, cars, people, planets, stars…he wondered: “What if there was never even the idea of existence?” For a moment, he experienced what he’s come to call that “exhilarating nothingness.” What a strange child.
Today he uses the power and engagement of gaming and gamification to entertain, inspire, motivate and educate. Yet always in the back of his mind he is solving to get the user back to that moment he experienced as a child.
