Bad or good? Do they make you dumb or do they promote other types of thinking? Do MMO's (which have an economy) promote economic thought? Is it possible to be addicted and have a girlfriend/social life?

QUOTE(ArjunaCapulong @ Feb 23 2008, 11:15 PM)  Moderation, imo. Words of wisdom. My son (who many of you know has autism) didn't do hardly anything nor did he seem interested in anything. He did somewhat show interest in a game that was on my cell phone at the time, so I decided to bust out the old Nintendo (we're talking OLD). He really enjoyed it (he was about three at the time). So I purchased him an Xbox and a Nintendo Gamecube. It was really strange at first because he had next to nothing in the way of social skills, but the kid was fantastic at game playing. All around, including non-game time, he would laugh and smile more and seemed to be communicating more. So in my opinion, games have been good. Of course, moderation should be used and I don't like him being in front of his games too long for obvious reasons (tired eyes, etc). Anyway, some anecdotal words regarding my personal experiences with game playing. I also play an MMO (not WoW, sorry) and I love it. There's strategy, team work and economic skills that can be learned from an extent. |
