i now have a reason
(can't remember where I got it from)
On Information Technology and the Internet
- that all those hours spent playing video games may not be wasted time
after all because new study suggests action-packed video games like
'Grand Theft Auto III' and 'Counter-Strike' may sharpen your mind.
Researchers at the University of Rochester found that young adults who
regularly played video games full of high-speed car chases and blazing
gun battles showed better visual skills than those who did not. For
example, they kept better track of objects appearing simultaneously and
processed fast-changing visual information more efficiently. (Was there
ever a doubt it increases hand-eye coordination and neuro-reflexes?)
