Todays article is about if Video Games Can Actually Be Good for Kids. According to ane McGonigal, a woman who received her Ph.D. in game research from the University of California, Berkeley. She said that the simplest games that are there were a waste of time and no need to have them because they weren't useful. Well it turns out to be that she was wrong, here's an example," Author of The New York Times best-seller, Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World, McGonigal began her talk by saying that there are 500 million active gamers in the world right now and by the time they reach the age of 21, each one of them will have spent 10,000 hours playing video games, 10,000 hours might sound like a familiar statistic; remember what Malcolm Gladwell said in Outliers about how individuals can become virtuosos in just about anything from sports to science by putting in that much time?." Also, in the article is says that 95% of American kids boys and girls alike the age of 20 play video games. That's a lot and I agree with him because even I did and my brothers do to.
