I love these animated videos! They're so enlightening for me. I'm a 21 year old American college student and I've often felt unmotivated about my future. I just seem to have no sense of time. It's not like I do poorly in school I just wish I had more flexibility and didn't feel like I was being rushed. I would rather learn, collaborate, critically think, and do less busy paperwork. Sometimes I feel educators (and employers) are trying to fit everyone into a box i.e. cubicle, punchcard and all.

Agreed that this part seemed poorly researched and a lot of assumptions were made. I'm in my mid 40s and played a ton of video games during my teenage years in the late 80s and 90s. The rule in our house was simple - do your homework and family chores first and then play all the video games you want. I also had a part time job where I learned job skills and how to work with the public so while I was a bit shy I learned plenty of social skills. The video games helped pass the time because I lived in the middle of nowhere and there wasn't much else to do. I was on the honor roll every semester except one and graduated with a 3.9 GPA from HS. And the only reason I didn't do well one semester is that I had missed school due to a family member having a terminal illness and I had to step up and help out. Someone needs to do a better study on this because they are clearly missing some important details.

I think it's a combination of things. Playing video games (or other technologies) gives us instant gratification. We are able to interact personally with these things and at school, we don't have that instant gratification. Kids aren't able to understand and see that, you know, the future is important, so they think school is boring and useless because it doesn't provide them with that instant gratification. I think it depends on how old you are when you start playing video games, nowadays five year olds have ipads and they grow up without certain skills that's needed to survive in the future. The reason you guys are all find is because you have those family dinners and participate in extracurricular activities or jobs that help you develop those social skills. He's talking about the kids that only have video games and none of those things you guys have.

@@itsayh I agree with you but that's kind of my point. Kids play games all the time, even before computers were invented, they played games. And those games are all instant gratification. That's just a normal part of childhood. I was lucky to have involved parents and good extracurriculars, but the instant gratification wasn't the problem. I'm a programmer now, and that's very little instant gratification, but I now find it more rewarding than games were. The real issue is that kids are getting parented less and less, because having a stay at home parent raising kids keeps getting more expensive, and wages aren't going up. So when all the adults are working and busy, the kids are left with nothing to do but play, and they learn fewer skills and such, thus becoming less independent and less skilled adults. People gaming their lives away are a symptom, not a cause. Edit: read my old comment, yeah i was actually kinda wrong, i don't blame school quality as much anymore

I'd like to say I'm really impressed with the quality of this discussion thread. There are a lot of assertions made in this video, lots going on in here. I'd like to point out that the encounter with the poet at 3:09 sounds very much like something linguists call the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which has been a contentious topic. It basically suggests that our language systems influence our perception, and not the other way around. Critics of the hypothesis hold that it is precisely the other way around, as language readily changes to suit people's needs. Those who do embrace Sapir-Whorf largely tend to embrace a "weak" version of the hypothesis, these days, that is to say, there may be some degree of influence, but not in any total sense. ^ ^

This was super interesting! (btw this comment became a massive dig at education-it wasnt supposed to be to begin with but it got out of hand) I also think Education itself is the main problem. I think its no longer teaching but only telling. Education is literally about educating younger people, so they can be inspired and develop interests and become creative and think, but modern education has drifted from that to mere test results and preparing for exams- which is limiting in measuring someones intelligence. Many times in school, we are no longer taught to understand what we are being told, but to just memorise it for an exam. This means work you produce in an exam can just be mentally copy and pasted from a work sheet and a memorised internet essay -which you didn't even write-and which you do not necessarily understand. Countless number of times i've been told I don't actually have to understand it, just memorise it, so i can write it down in the exam and get more marks. It defeats the object of what education should be. SO no wonder younger people and kids lose interest and motivation within school-because its not being taught right or in a way that makes it interesting and understandable. And things such as video games, Tv and internet are more engaging. Tbh most games would actually induce a person to think and plan, whereas in a school situation you are told to re read and re write a box of text until you remember it, but not necessarily know what it means. School needs to work in away that it captures, engages and inspires individuals to think for themselves and understand the world around them. Its main focus should move away from examinations. Just because someone flops and fails 1 exam, it can bring down the whole grade. But that doesn't mean they haven't learnt or been changed by all those years of schooling. Its narrow minded to judge a persons intelligence ect from merely a letter or number in an exam-especially if it is a subject where 'yes and no' answers apply (like maths). Im not surprised that many younger people want out the manipulative, biased and small minded education systems, and find gaming, internet ect more interesting-I'm sure many people would, being subjected to around 20 years of school life, it should change and try to remain engaging and interesting. Rather than constantly blaming external forces and the children themselves, why not look at why someone is driven to watching tv or playing games constantly. Instead of just shouting abuse and labelling people all the time, look at the actual problem and try to fix it-before something gets out of hand and worse to deal with (e.g mental illness, crimes). It can start by actually teaching younger people how to live and survive independently and how to cope with future life issues that will arise. Education needs to adapt to a modern and constantly changing society. The education system needs to be more savvy with modern culture and the future, rather than, as this video says, being to focused on the past and due to this attachment with the past and past ideals, it hinders the future, and the individuals who will eventually be the future.

He talks about the boy playing video games so negatively, acting as if that was why kids are dropping outta class. They said similar things about television before that, comic books before that, and radio before that. Kids are dropping out at an alarming rate because we are using 19th century tactics in 21th century education. With so many more people, in an age of vast information and technology, it might be a good idea to apply modern psychology and modern technology to revamp education. Make Education as fun and interesting as a video game, turn those 10,000+ hours of gaming into 10,000+ hours of schooling... and if you do it right, they may not even notice the difference.

We need to make the way we do things adapt to us, and not to stay in 'this is how it's always been done' mentality. For example, if kids can choose between all possible curriculums, then they can follow their highest drive and learn so much more in the field of their natural preference that they will quickly outdo any professional that came out of regular university. Of course they need to have inspirations all over the place, like passionate quantum physicist, passionate mathematician, passionate group dancer, etc. Then they can choose who they aspire to be as, and there will be a curriculum structure ready to take them on. (perhaps even in 3D classrooms with their favourite teachers). General at first, but then specialise more and more in whatever they find the most exciting along the way. I believe the future of education is where kids from early on until adulthood will choose their own curriculum and their own pace. Look at anonymous: teenage kids can outhack government officials... because they have passion and drive in what they do.

OOchriOO I believe the learned professor was alerting us to how we are all different. Alluding to what the inhabitants think about each other, possibly from snippets of conversations and rhetoric that is constructed into Political religious, non-religious, agnostic, nonsecular, secular, constructions and compilations of identities that show how diverse the world is according to perceptions of time. So the essence was how populations in the countries or places, themselves perceive their lives, opportunities and their time. It is a concept of time, not a factual empirical study. I heard it was about how humans are in effect affected by geography and kinship systems as well as culture. It is often called social anthropology, where the conversations are not judgemental but part of understanding whywe do what we do, how we do and if it means anything significant? Hence, the critical question for me is, if young people drop out of school, and learn to give up is ok, then at 16 or 18 or even in their later years, decide they made a mistake, thenwant to work on computer game narratives, develop new storyboards, create creatures with Maya, then they wouldn’t have the creative and technical skills to be able to do that. Mainly, as you have to learn it as part of what you do when you were younger as at school, college or wherever, you have time, at a point when the brain is still developing and more open and flexible to novel, new ideas. So at even 11 the boys perhaps wouldn’t have the skills or the stamina to work on long projects, which in the future will prevent them from realising their value in work, being part of a creative team, and becoming independent. And being happy to create not just consume. I only say that because I work with a lot of young boys who give up on drawing, as they see an awkward drawing as a failure and stop, are reluctant to try problem-solving r way into competence and mastery, which develops resilience to keep trying and not give up too soon. So, this is so critical to computer gaming creators, when trying out a new idea to create a computer game using sequencing and animation. If robots will replace most jobs then what are these young people going to do if they’re not creative or designing the future? Who will be paying them to sit at home and play games if there’s nothing else to do ? So, they still need to eat, contribute and be a purposeful member of society? I believe most want to be included and making their own choices in life?

I like some of these videos, but I think this one is difficult to agree with. Some people want to blame video games, social media, and television for the lack of attention today's youth pays in school, and for somehow disrupting family values. I say that these things (video games and such) were created to fill an unmet need, and are not the things that have changed the way we interact on a family level. Why would kids these days want video games, social media, and television? Because most of their childhood is spent unintentionally socially neglected by two working parents, and electronic media has given them ways to fill that social need. Social media was created to fill the need to socialize, it has not destroyed our ability to socialize in today's world. Video games did not destroy family values, your family values were bullshit to begin with. People haven't stopped wearing watches because they're not multi-functional, it's because why would they need a watch when their cell phone has a clock on it? It's just outdated technology.

This is completely theoretical, but girls seem to latch onto the social media addictions a bit more, which is creating a very materialistic / hedonistic / aesthetic and beauty orientated culture in the west. Because of this indulgence in these traits it becomes quite difficult for men to create deep relationships with women because said women are more focused on [primarily digital] social validation than relationships. Men turn to fantasies / excessive work to either skip out of or try to meet social expectations of female cultural standards and if children are involved a massive lack of attention to the child's development begins.

+Rush Yahr The family dinner decline and the busyness rising are undeniable trends on a global scale in the modern world. That speaks enough in itself, something is going wrong. The video pinpoints very logically, that this has to do very much with so called time perspective which determines how we evaluate any moment in our life. I can speak out of personal experience friend, video games feel like "they fill a need" but in reality they are actually a trap for the human intelligence and educate a get-rewarded-right-now (as this video calls it - hedonistic) pursuit. I am someone that has spent well over those 10000 hours!!! And at some point I began to realize that not only have I not learned many social and practical things about LIFE, I have become less capable of doing productive work that requires time because it feels so different than playing games! In that sense - video games act as an efficient catalyst for the problem of being disconnected from LIFE - which is actually about PRODUCTIVE and POSITIVE PRINCIPLES, because that is what brings the ultimate joy and self-confidence. Yes, you turn to video games when your social life is not perfect and by doing this you actually postpone the problem indefinitely. The weak mind enjoys gaming... and remains weak. The video does not suggest directly how one gets more life-oriented, but if I had to guess - try your best at making the harder choice, rather than the one that further solidifies existing trends that you, lying in bed, dream of being gone.

Oh yes, I happen to have a variety of publications on all of these topics ready for immediate use (no, not really). Impressions reflect the person being impressed upon. Worthy of scientific praise? No. Worthy of consideration? I think so. Their source is some form of learned understanding, and that understanding is derived from experience. Not pure and unaltered objectivity, but not hollow nothingness, either. The first is a scenario which is based on neurologic desensitization, which is a very real process (that's not to say all video games affect every kid/group in this way). Likewise, I'm sure some students take formal sex ed lessons to heart, but a great many do not. In my high school, it was treated as an easy A. I did a quick google search to find this, but I'm admittedly not doing legitimate research, so I understand it doesn't prove much on its own: her.oxfordjournals.org/content/17/4/471.full And the last one just seems obviously related (note relation vs. causation). Family cohesion will manifest itself in different ways, frequent family dinners inevitably being one of them. I understand these are not black & white, definitive facts, but certainly they point to some truth, no? I'm not attempting to present a stern argument here, your perspective just intrigued me.

The idea that gives my life meaning is that humanity is a marvelous phenomenon in the universe and I intend to support that great machine. If there is a universal good, it certainly isn't universal for everyone today. A simple lack of understanding isn't the only issue; it's unwillingness to try to understand. That unwillingness to be challenged about beliefs is selfishness itself, wanting to stay ignorant because it's comfortable. We need an attitude of critical thinking to pursue a utopia.

"Or a fridge door that doesn't open until a minute after you pulled it" - Let's be honest, it would probably help a lot of bored and easily frustrated people lose weight. Less people are going to pop by the fridge for an unnecessary snack when they know that they are going to have to sit through that 'maddening' minute. Actually, I think you just came up with a great idea.

The best perspectives come from kids of today- I'm 16- I've lived with video games all my life and computers most of my life. The professor is exactly spot on- I don't find homework as rewarding as instant happiness because it is not guaranteed homework will bring future success. Why would I get a degree when there's a good chance it will be completely useless? Of course I think better than that, but I know for sure that is what is going through many of my peers' minds. Motivation is the key!

Brilliant! What I really got from this is broken tradition. We need to slow down and learn how to enjoy the present AND keep in mind our future. We as a people desire happiness. All religion was created to end suffering. Our future is important but what is success without happiness? I believe there is a balance in drive/motivation & happiness. Easiest way to receive happiness is in spending time face to face with people we're blessed to see everyday. Families aren't perfect but thats how we lea

This is true. Putting that much pressure on myself has always spurred great anxiety, and being that it is about other people, it is a difficult one to solve. I've spent a long time meditating on such subjects, but haven't found exactly what I want to do. Being an analytical type I think it's time I start acting instead of thinking. You're right about medicine, and I could definitely look into that. I'm 19 now and fortunate enough to be in college so I have plenty of time to act differently.

I think this was a very informative video. He makes great points. Towards the end he talks how we should be family oriented. Very true. Regardless of what others think, everything starts in the home. However the child grew up, whether it was an abusive or family oriented family, it will stick with him/her. They will grow up expecting what they were given in the family home. The biggest influences in a child's life are home, school, peers, & church. The most influential out of those is home.

I completely agree with what they say about school not being engaging because it's a passive experience and gamers are used to having control. I then ask myself, if I could make a change, how can I make school something that isn't passive and something that students have some control in? Food for thought.

You just forgot the most important thing about raising future oriented kids: to be future oriented you need future prospects. Even kids who have been taught to have future oriented vision of life will lose it when they realize that their life is going to suck in the future and start focus on the present. But this is a cool idea, I realized this when I went to university. Success started to depend simply on how ppl were looking forward to their career and not on how smart each person is.

The accumulating score, the numbers popping up on screen each time you slash a monster, is a steady feed of pleasure that tantalizes the player. That feeling is, "My total score is so big!" just as much as, "I just got 900 points!"

I graduated in 2002 and am a web developer now. Almost 30 now and spent my 20's basically unlearning a lot of bad habits from school, like shaking off the notion that were engrained in me so it was all I knew, be the future, the present is for work, and just follow the program we give you. From what I gather from this video it sounds like kids are doomed! Things are only getting worse for the autodidacts who just aren't compatible with school. Survive it and you get a decade of unwinding it.

I think this talk was first about spreading awareness that time perspective may be a better way of thinking about some of the problems in our society (and generation gaps in my opinion). He's not heavy on answers, though his book may offer some of that. But I think he definitely supported future orientation as a better way of thinking, though we can't assume it in kids but must start where they are, which is present-oriented. The way to change our time perspective must be awareness + discipline.

No criticism of RSA or these videos at all, because I like them a lot, but it occurred to me even before I saw this one, that they reflect our 'I must know so much and I must do it fast' culture. Seeing this one, also very 'timely', interesting and well-constructed, gave me the nudge to say it. And gaining knowledge is shown here (rightly I think) as present oriented hedonistic, but then can't future orientation simply be an orientation on the present pleasure of seeing a future on its way.

On an earlier viewing I wonder if I commented when we Indians think of ourselves as a country and civilization, we are very strongly 'Past Oriented'! We talk of a glorious past and speak about it nostalgically and wistfully think in terms of reviving it. It may be useful to twist this thinking and visualize ourselves in terms of having a glorious future!! By a glorious future I do not necessarily imply only the materialistic and economic advances but amalgamating it with a spiritual aspect too!

it's about structuring yourself one week instead of playing video games or what ever else you do at the computer for the 12 hours. First month cut it down to 10 hours and use one hour for sleep the other for everything else. next month cut it down another two hours and so on and so forth. It's not easy but if you want to change yourself you've got to put in effort. Trust me, I'm in the same boat.

These are the answers I got from the video to your questions: No, a past perspective is better for past oriented objectives etc. Yes, one can change their time perspective through reinforcement, Yes example being those who are past/present oriented by trying to make their present identical to the good ole days, No he is saying it already is, and that will always spell disaster for the groups it does not include. I thought it was a great video but Im left with questions too.

The reason for science is understanding and curiosity. Engineering takes scientific discoveries and cobbles it into useful things. Science has no inherent purpose other than understanding.

I can't agree more about your 2 last sentence, I find it incredibly hypocritical when people who watch 10 hours of TV each day of the week-end say that spending too much time on the computer or the Xbox is bad, when really, it's 10 time better than being in front of a TV since when you're on the computer, you're active and you interact, you think, and when you are watching the TV, you're passive and you're not developing your brain that much compared to being on the computer.
