While stupid politicians keep crapping on about how video games are evil, more and more studies are showing the benefits that come from gaming.That article didn't counterdict that idea, read the last paragraph carefully:
Parents should not see this study as beneficial if their child is playing video games for over an hour a day," Gentile said. "Spending that much time playing video games is not going to help their child's chances of getting into medical school.Playing all day acording to the paragraph isn't helpful. They ment that playing aproximetly 9 hour a week is helpful if it's in addition to studing. All in proportions, not too much not too little.
Although that there is nothing wrong in playing in the computer.Satchmo teh elite doctor.Donno about that, heard three peitents were killed under his watch yesterday.
As for my opinion: surely there are other and better ways to develop those skills, I'm sure of it. Maybe drawing. frown -I haven't played actual computer games for ages (Though I probably will be when C&C3 is released ;)), but I mostly model in blender, engineer in CAD, do homework, study, do more homework, go to school, and study more. And maybe read. And program. And play a 2 minute round of CSS...once a week.
Ah, the joy of grade 10.You could substitute modeling in Blender for playing games, if you wanted. Or just drop out and spend all day on WoW!
Interesting, especially since they're just plain ol' video games and not special games designed for training or the like.There was a piece about this on the radio a while ago, wich stated that gamers, of action games, had a better perception of there surroundings.

Most people arent killers.What have you never killed someone, everybody does that once in a while you know. Haven't you seen those idiots who hop all the time with knifes or guns in their hand shooting at each other, it's a very common sight around the globe.
