Minecraft: The Game That Captured a Generation Through the Eyes of Serial Entrepreneur Jay Adelson

In A Total Disruption on YouTube, YouTube Posts by Hlarson0 Comments

 

When I sat down with Jay Adelson, former CEO of Digg and founder of Opsmatic, we instantly bonded as parents of kids who are part of a generation that may one day be referred to as “The Minecraft Generation.” Adelson is quite the wizard tech entrepreneur himself. His company Equinix has a market cap of 11 billion dollars and Time Magazine named him one of the most influential people in the world. He explains why Minecraft is an innovation that will impact not only the future of gaming from the lessons it imparts about what features are truly valued by young users, but also the world as it shapes our children’s brains.
