Summarize the authors words and describe what she accomplishes in the 2 paragraphs below.
Paragraph 1 - If so, it will not be the first time that such a mass exodus from reality to games has occurred. Indeed, the very first written history of human gameplay, Herodotus' Histories, the ancient Greek account of the Persian Wars - dating back more than three thousand years - describe a nearly identical scenario. While the oldest known game is the ancient counting game Mancala - evidence shows it was play during Egypt's age of empires, or the fifteenth to the eleventh centuries BC - it was not until Herodotus that anyone thought to record the origins or cultural functions of these games. And from his ancient text, we can learn a great deal about what's happening today - and what's almost certainly coming next.
Paragraph 2 - It's a bit counterintuitive to think about the feature in terms of the past. But as a research director at the Institute for the Future - a nonprofit think tank in Palo Alto, California, and the world's oldest future-forecasting organization - I've learned an important trick: to develop foresight, you need to practice hindsight. Technologies cultures, and climates may change, but our basic human needs are desires - to survive, to care for our families, and to lead happy, purposeful lives - remain the same. So at IFTF we like to say, "To understand the future, you have to look back at least twice as far as you're looking ahead." Fortunately, when it comes to games, we can look even farther back than that. Games have been a fundamental part of human civilization for thousands of years.
