Kids addicted to games more intelligent

While kids who are addicted to video games tend to be more intelligent on average, does it have any other lasting effects?

The Guardian has posted an outstanding article about the effect that excessive video game playing has on our youth.

Not surprisingly, to anyone who's actually PLAYED games excessively, while a moderate increase in aggressive behavior was noted short-term, there are no lasting effects.

In fact, gamers tend to be more intelligent on average than their non-gamer counterparts. (No surprise to our Forum members.)

Print out this article, kids. Next time a teacher or parent complains about your gaming, show them this. But remember, everything in MODERATION. Too much of a good thing is still too much.
