Tap Yourself Rich?
You might not know it, but the best way to become rich is by tapping into the world of virtual reality. Thanks to a revolutionary technology called augmented reality (AR), you can place your phone in front of you and tap away at screens that appear on top of ordinary objects in your field of vision. Some games have already taken this concept and run with it, generating significant revenue for the companies behind them.
A few years ago, Candy Crush Saga became the most played mobile game in the world. It was one of the top grossing apps in app stores across the globe, and it looks like it'll continue to be for some time to come. But as impressive as that title is, there are others that have surpassed it by a long shot.
In fact, some games generate more revenue from a smaller player-base than Candy Crush does from its large user base. For example, King's Candy Crush Saga generates about $4 billion on a daily basis for its company; about one-third of that comes from smaller players who pay less than $5 per day.
You might be wondering, how is this possible? It's actually very easy to do.
AR technology has finally caught up to the point where it can allow for an extremely high level of interactivity with video games.
The ability to "tap" on a screen allows for an infinitely deeper level of interaction than anything that has been created before. The list of things you can now do in an AR game are virtually endless, but there are two ways that this technology can be used that make it particularly suited for the gaming market:
1) AR games allow you to use your imagination in order to solve puzzles or defeat enemies. This makes it extremely fun for people who are practically guaranteed to play the game for hours on end. It's one of the things that attracted me to AR in the first place, and it's a big reason why I'm playing a lot of Pokémon Go now.
2) AR games allow you to play out your own adventures, worlds and stories using highly interactive characters (the kind you see in cartoons or movies). You can then take screenshots or videos to share with others.
It should be no surprise that there have been numerous proposals made on how this technology could be used by video game companies.
The video game industry is a multi-billion dollar one, and a move into augmented reality by the major players makes sense, particularly because of how lucrative it would be.
Long term, though, I think all traditional video games are going to be replaced by AR ones. It's not just for the obvious reasons (the ability to bring the characters to life), but because the entire gaming experience is now more social than ever before.
It's easier than ever before for people to interact with one another in real time and make in-game purchases together. You can also see your friends as you play or make new friends over the internet as you play.
Taking photos and sharing them with others is now easier than ever, and it's a great way to show off your accomplishments.
I see no reason why this shouldn't be the direction we take for gaming in the future. I hope it does happen, but if not, I'm still going to play a lot of Pokémon Go! - Turo Kurming :::: Tap Yourself Rich? Click Here To Read More On This Topic

Why High School Football Is Not A Game Most Parents Want Their Kids To Play Reply Delete
REALLY?!? Yeah I've been hearing this crap all my life too. I've been an athlete my whole life from Varsity Soccer to Semi-Pro Hockey(International League) and I'm not even close to an expert in the field but I'd like to give you my two cents. It all comes down to this. High School football is a BUSINESS and it's run by ADULTS who make money off of this business. High School Football is not a game! It's just that the players are kids, but they're not playing a game they're making money in their lives because of their athletic abilities. Once they get to the college level they are locked into a lifetime contract, unless they cheat and commit felonies. NO ONE is going to fire a professional football player because he was caught committing a felony when he was 15 years old. Once you're in College all bets are off, and this is Art, real life, being put on the line for money and not for people's enjoyment. The kids are doing this for themselves, the coaches are in it for the money, the ADs are in it for money and the fans have no idea what really goes on behind closed doors. I'll take my two cents back, because I'm not a professional, but I am an athlete who played in the center of the biggest city in America for professional hockey and I know what it takes to play at that level. My advice is this. Play football if you love it. But don't let others tell you what to do now or in the future; you're going to be stuck with these people your whole life! Reply Delete
This is all true, but the coaches are making a good living as well. You have to start somewhere, right? And if it's something your child loves and has a knack for why not let them at least try out because they may be really good at it or really enjoy playing football. My son is 8 and has been playing football since he was 5. He won't be playing in high school, but thankfully he enjoys it. I don't want him to play because he'll get a scholarship. I want him to play because he loves football and will continue to play every chance he gets once his high school days are over. Reply Delete
I have always loved high school football! My husband played in college, so I'm biased. The student athletes are getting much more than just a chance for scholarships.
Conclusion
It is no surprise that the above findings are consistent with the overall theme of this website. The reason we care about education and testing is because people's lives will be improved.

I agree with the above comments 100%. I played high school football for 3 years and my older brother played it from ages 9-15 and both of us attended our state university where we were both on scholarship...
