Today was our first day of the Work Experience Program working with Lenovo. We talked with our host, Greyson Davis (the head of the software gaming division at Lenovo), and asked him questions about what it was like to work with Lenovo and with video games, and especially how it’s been working from home for so long.
We spent the rest of our meeting time talking about and learning the basics of NFTs, and discussing their potential applications for gaming and in the real world. NFT stands for non-fungible token, and essentially is a unique, secure piece of data that is stored on the blockchain. These tokens can be transferred – bought and sold like any other physical good. Right now they’re used for things like digital art and collectibles, but in the near future they could be used to securely store things like concert tickets or house deeds.
Today after our meeting, I researched the environmental impact that NFTs and NFT transactions could have.
