The Game Layer

I found a fascinating video by the CEO of SCVNGR.  Seth Priebatsch is an enthusiastic Yale drop-out who is predicting the social media trend for the next decade.  He says that last decade was the development of the social layer, which includes Twitter, Facebook, etc.  This decade, a game layer will be added that includes being awarded virtual points for completing real and physical tasks.  It’s a futuristic concept, so watching the video can help to understand his vision:
