I for one am at a point in my life where I'm starting to switch my focus from web apps and games to bioinformatics. Not that I believe I will be the one to cure cancer or that this field isn't without it's problems too, but it feels great that whatever I accomplish will hopefully lead to improving medicine, no matter how small the contribution. Right now I'm doing my first project on antibiotic resistance and I get to use my knowledge about computer science, mathematical staistics and *NIX shell hacking, while learning a lot of new cool stuff baout biochemistry and molecular biology. Personally, I want to do more than flashy games and entertainment that are essentially luxury products for the happy few that can afford a smartphone and a computer. That being said, it's weird for a Sunday Times writer to be pointing fingers at game developers for what they are doing instead of, I don't know, curing cancer themselves.
