Video Games Found To Decrease Brain Activity

Richard C writes "A Japanese researcher, Akio Mori, from the Nihon University's College of Humanities and Sciences, claims to have found a link between the playing of video games and the balance of activity in the brain. It is also claimed that this effect can cause behavioural changes, such as lack of concentration, difficulty with social association, and short temper. These effects are also thought to be, to some extent, nonreversible." I was gonna say something witty and insightful here, but I can't think of anything. At least I can't make a windows machine stable enough to run Neverwinter or my brain would be toast.

He didn't say you had to sleep with tons of people. He just said that you should have advanced social skills, so that you could walk into any social situation and walk out with someone who would be willing to do whatever you want.

Social skills are important. And I mean real social skills, not chatting on AIM or IRC.

ha ha!
