1. Do you agree with this article? Answer in a complete sentence and tell why or why not. I agree because i love games.
2. What do you think has caused the shift in science from being against video games in the 80s and 90s to more positive towards them today? Parents were more stubbern in that day.
3. Find 2 reliable sources:
- One scientific source that explains why video games are bad for your brain link
- One scientific source that explains why video games are good for your brain
4. Summarize both of your sources and the arguments they make. This should be 2 paragraphs.
- Problem solving and logic – When a child plays a game such as The Incredible Machine, Angry Birds or Cut The Rope, he trains his brain to come up with creative ways to solve puzzles and other problems in short bursts
- Hand-eye coordination, fine motor and spatial skills. In shooting games, the character may be running and shooting at the same time. This requires the real-world player to keep track of the position of the character, where he/she is heading, his speed, where the gun is aiming, if the gunfire is hitting the enemy, and so on. All these factors need to be taken into account, and then the player must then coordinate the brain’s interpretation and reaction with the movement in his hands and fingertips. This process requires a great deal of eye-hand coordination and visual-spatial ability to be successful. Research also suggests that people can learn iconic, spatial, and visual attention skills from video games. There have been even studies with adults showing that experience with video games is related to better surgical skills. Also, a reason given by experts as to why fighter pilots of today are more skillful is that this generation’s pilots are being weaned on video game

"It seems to have really interesting positive effects,” said Daphne Bavelier. Sheresearches video games at the University of Rochester in New York.
Professors have done thousands of studies on gaming since the 1980s. Mostof them found that gaming is bad for kids. The studies linked video games toviolence and weight gain.
A new generation of scientists more familiar with technology has come along.Different results have often appeared, said Christopher Ferguson, a professorat Stetson University in Florida.
