This'll sure win kids over to his side: British Cabinet Minister Tom Watson encourages children to play video games. He believes that even the usually frowned-upon violent video games can be educational and that they increase intelligence. "Basically, I think playing games is a good thing," he said. "I'd rather my boy playing on his Wii than passively watching telly."Most games are educational. They make you think, focus, challenge, and change - 500 years ago, a medium that did this would be called art.
Watson also revealed that his three-year-old son learned how to count via a Telly Tubbies game. "Even the fun stuff has serious real-world applications," he added.
I like the "think, focus, challenge, and change" line. Personally, I find that to be very, very true. Gamers (those that have been playing regularly for a long time) are generally quite smart, not all of course. Sometimes, you can tell a lot from a person with what he plays and why he plays them. Gaming scores another point!
