Can PokémonGo help a child — today? — Medium


  • Imagine waking up to the news of #PokemonGO surprising everyone by converting the total time spent on the app into an equal number of magical karma points, and distributing it across all non-profit organizations that nurture endangered Pokmon characters.

  • If PokmonGOs success can add $7.5 billion to Nintendos marketing value, a mere percentage of that can do wonders for children that dont even have access to clean drinking water, let alone a toy to play with.

  • If 100s of grown-ups can be made to run in search of virtual characters, one can only imagine if the same technique is applied to real world scenarios that truly deserve the same level of dedication + attention.

  • Over the past few months, crowdfunding has displayed numerous instances of an incomparable power generated by the unification of technology and regular people with a purpose.

  • So, the next time PokmonGO servers are down; lets pause and shift our attention to real-life characters that are also waiting to be found.
