Design Ideas Inspired By Nature

No matter how advanced our society and technology is, we can never forget our origins, and we will always need something green around us. Of course, the best idea is actually spending some time in the countryside, but it's not always possible, so the only thing left is probably bringing some nature to your house instead.

The infographic below takes a good look at the social gaming scene and some of these numbers are quite mind numbing. By the way, are you a social gamer?
