A year ago I was gifted my Kindle, and among the many apps I explored was this MSM one. I enthusiastically embraced the spirit of the game, and spent several months puzzling out the game mechanics including food quantities, bed counts, and the amassing of in-game coin. One real benefit from the game was learning how to use the Kindle for note taking. At first, yes, I had paper lists. But very quickly I turned to the Kindle pages of notes; they could be studied, added to, amended of misconceptions. And as the months have rolled on into another year, I have deleted all but basic information: which islands have what monsters, which breeding combinations succeed, and what their "faves" are. All this naturally honed my virtual keyboard skills, dealing with character lag and closely monitoring the word auto-fill in case it makes a wrong guess as to what I meant to say. Now we have a new skill... we see other people's writing, and if a word makes no sense, we auto-fill in what we guess is the correct word. I hadn't seen that before Kindle and MSM came into my life.
