"Systems only become meaningful as they are inhabited,
explored, and manipulated by people. In the coming century, what will become
important will not be just systems, but human systems...
Play emerges from more rigid systems, but it does not take
those systems for granted. It plays with them, modifying, transgressing, and reinventing.
We must learn to approach problem-solving with a spirit of playfulness; not to
resist, but to embrace transformation and change. As a paradigm for innovation
in the coming century, play will increasingly inform how we learn, work, and
create culture."
