It will be interesting to see the future world of that young age group.
Very cool.

I expect there will be at least a few enviro friendly Minecraft Worlds redesigned to spell out GOOGLE.

I've seen her spend HOURS just building a bridge from one side of the world to the other, just to tear it down and rebuild it somewhere else.

Normal play it's not. My daughter has 3 versions: one on the PS3 (which cannot be modded), one on her tablet (which I think can be modded, but I'm not gonna let her 'cos I'm her tech support), and finally her heavily modded version on her laptop, which I let her go to town on as it's easy to remove all mods.

She uses the PS3 one the most, however, as she likes to play with friends at home.

I am a gamer, but I'm more into action and adventure games. Something with a compelling story. Sandbox and open world games like Minecraft bore me.

and I don't ever want to. I'm more of a tactile designer.
Completely visual and hands on. Like sculpting & such.
