RE: Why do we never hear the positive benefits of gaming?
Can't agree with this enough. I played a LOT of video games as a child. Now I have a vast amount of problem solving skills that I notice a lot of my non-gamer friends don't have. Not sure I would have developed those skills without being constantly challenged with puzzles in video games, especially in RPGs, which are full of puzzles and were always one of my favorites to play.
Exactly right - I've also heard that it's helpful for older people, by keeping their minds active and staving off the brain diseases. But, however true to life this is I'm unsure.
