Creating Passionate Users: Never Underestimate the Power of Fun

Kathy Sierra gives her take on the Power of Fun:

"And human (mammal) brains are tuned for play. Evolution favored those with a high play drive, because play=learning, play=practice, and learning/practice=survival. Play--and laughter--sends a signal to the brain that "this is good, and it matters", which is why we're often more likely to remember especially funny things than neutral or annoying things."
