TEED Talk: Massively multi-player… thumb-wrestling?

I think this TED Talk was interesting. I guess that thumb wrestling does have good things to it.  As in emotional and connection wise. Connecting with somebody you don’t really know can make you feel more comfortable. Her teaching people her favorite game she basically says gives you 10 positive emotions which are joy, relief, love, surprise, pride, curiosity, excitement, awe and wonder, contentment and creativity. She also said there is this type of chemical in your body that connects you to people if you touch them for 6 seconds so I guess I kind of learned something from this. She talked about the different levels to thumb wrestling. She got the whole room to participate in thumb wrestling. Even the top rows.
