Video games kill concentration?

Videogames kill concentration? What a load of.......
Hello, have we met?Seriously; I think videogames teach more than they harm. I mean, MGS- excellent place to be taught about cigarretes. Smoking them kills you, smoke allows lasers to be seen, etc.; As loonylion has mentioned, first aid. (although that's a wierd one). Even the bad things, like maladjusted people going on shooting sprees; they have taught something, just not socially acceptable things.

All i know is that gaming helps keep me sane, away from drugs, and i think i learn some stuff ;D

I play games all the time and my concentration is...what were we talking about?I actually read as much as i play games.

I remember an article that said videogames actualy increese reflexes and a certain "type" of concentration (dont quote me on this last)... it can dull your brain since when you play a ,say, jump'n'run game it only exercisess a portion of your brain.Literature is still the best way to "Level Up" your concentration ;)

I go to school 8 hours a day then about 1 or 2 on homework, by the time im done with all of that it likes 5 or 6 o clock. Bed time at 10:30 so Im good..thats about 3 hours of gameplay a day.

... it only kills concentration when you allow it to, that's why I multitask, right now I'm also studying for my SATs
