1. In Chapter 3, Jenkins goes into great detail trying to make sense of The Matrix and understand what the film was actually about. It seems like many people interpreted the story differently than others. Do you think a movie has to have a defined meaning or message to be successful or can a movie still be a blockbuster despite having a clear or easy to understand point behind it?
2. Jenkins used Pokemon as an example of collective intelligence with children and how it is different than that of adults. Jenkins says that adults rely on others for information while children are hunters and gatherers. So in Pokemon the kids go out of their way to receive character statistics and traits from other Pokemon players when they play the game together. With kids being more in tune with the internet and cell phones, do you think getting "involved" with games will become a thing of the past?
