Video games and the Cure for Aids?

Let us remember the times when our parents would yell at us to quit killing our brain with mindless video games. They would say you get nothing out of it, and you are just wasting you time. What if I told you that a group of gamers from across the world came together for one game and helped the process of curing aids? http://www.theblaze.com/stories/video-gamers-crack-enzyme-riddle-that-could-help-find-an-aids-cure/ Foldit is a game where you you are given an enzyme ( a digital replica) and you are to fold it into different shapes for a higher score. Different teams from around the world, and in those teams are different people from around the world, take other's enzyme and work of that. So people work on other's "project" do to get higher scores. Not even the scientist behind this could even imagine that a cure for one of the most deadly diseases could be found in a game. Here is a link to the game, so get at it and and cure your own disease! http://fold.it/portal/
