ARGs

I think ARGs were created by people who had too much time on their hands. If everyone were always busy, they wouldn't have time to search for clues that seem never ending. However, it is a creative game because once one starts to play it becomes an addiction to figure it out or it'll just bother them until they do. My question about ARGs is what makes people create them.? I think you had us read this because we will soon be, if not already, part of an ARG. An ARG might impact me because it can be a form of educational learning, rather than the traditional learning of a classroom. With all the commotion that's going around, it seems an ARG has already came to life within this school. I know today a certain student received a message about a professor on the main campus. He found the professor on the staff directory and said something about the professor was moving to the east coast. A while ago I noticed the posters up around the school mentioning that a woman was missing and if we had any information about her whereabouts, to email the name given on the poster. Now thinking about it, I wonder if these two events are connected. I guess I can say that I don't have a life as well because I feel intrigued to further explore this possibility.
