BULLSH*T Show me prof and I'll beleave. untill then whoever wrote this has proberly never worked with videogames or kids!
Some of it is true. but those ones are common sense.
You do realize these are all links to real studies, I didn't just come up with a bunch of contradictory effects. And most of the ones that make no sense were still done by professors.
pretty cool story but i must apologize for the idiot that probably pays video games but cant spell simple words like 'believe,' 'until' and probably.' it is kind of sad how just one comment proves half of the statements.
I've found most of these are very true. It was a good read. Thanks.
This is not surprising. Within any field of science you can find contradictory theories and studies based on sound scientific methods. More amazingly, is that there is likely truth to all those results, which points to the complexity of human behavior. The hard part is to makes sense of all those results-usually by doing more research! Good list. Thanks.
K most of this stuff is true... and i c it in myself... but some is bullshit.. i have the most self control out of anyone i know and i feel it is quite the oppisite people who dont play videogames have almost zero self control. lol and i laughed wen i saw the less likely to own a pet... its stupid i love pets and all animals... i think and know videos games are good for your mind.. its up to the gamer to put a balance of video gaming homework and physical needs..
