    How gamification took over the world
    Oct 30 2024
    We live in an undeniably gamified world. We stand up and move around to close colorful rings and earn achievement badges on our smartwatches; we meditate and sleep to recharge our body batteries; we plant virtual trees to be more productive; we chase “likes” and “karma” on social media sites and try to swipe our way toward social connection.

This story was written by Bryan Gardiner and narrated by Noa (newsoveraudio.com)
