With the rising level of technology behind video games, it's important to know that not only can the technology be used elsewhere, but also the games themselves. In today's episode of Games, Tech, and Things we explore the ways that companies can use social games to improve communication between employees making it a valuable tool in a business setting. An improperly trained team can lead to disastrous results, making the value that comes from such an inexpensive piece of tech. Jackbox is the prime of a social game being able to bring together workers to have fun and get to know each other. The applications of something like this are vast and can result in success for the company, bringing the question of why companies don’t already have more systems like this in place?

I agree that this should be implemented more in work places as well as at Piedmont University! It would help everyone have a better way of commuting without having to awkwardly stand up and say a fact about themselves.

I agree and believe that miscommunication could be improved as a result of these types of things. There is also a downside however that could come from the interaction between students and teachers from a bias on the part of one or the other creating tension if not monitored correctly.

I think the faculty and staff at piedmont would very much like what's to offer from games such as JackBox as a result of the communication and cooperation skills that could be utilized.
