OUGD601: David Carson, 'Play TED Talk'

https://www.ted.com/talks/stuart_brown_says_play_is_more_than_fun_it_s_vital#t-933536

David Carson, well know postmodern graphic designer says that play and fantasies are important for an active and happy society.

Studies show that people from more deprived backgrounds are going to be more prone to fantasy, as it is furthest away from their reality - even looking outside at a playground or onto a park is a sense of escape.

Guy he discusses around 16:00 said that ‘play can be a transformative force over his entire life’ as he grew up in ultra deprivation, drug addict mother etc, and he turned his entire life around and became super successful 

“When life becomes infused by play thats where the magic happens”

Encourages people to go out and interact with different kinds of play and fantasy, and “you’ll have a better and more empowered life”

Just as important as conventional public health, play and fantasy aid a happy life
