First, because the rationale you detail in assessing the underlying psychology behind the success of Facebook games was the exact thought process that motivated me to quit my job in January and start a company to address a related opportunity.<br /><br />Second, because of the world you describe towards the end of the speech, and the extent to which you envision potential overlap between actual and augmented reality.
