First Person Shooters Still Good For Improving Vision
from the well,-that's-a-relief dept
Three and a half years ago we had a post about a study claiming that video gaming was good for your vision. This was one of many recent studies that points out some of the positive aspects of playing video games. However, it looks like the researchers on that first study didn't want to give up that line of research (or, perhaps, they just wanted an excuse to get grant money that would let them keep playing video games). The same researchers have now come out with a second study that also notes video games can be good for your eyesight. In this case, they were specifically testing first person shooters, and how it impacted the ability of people to pick a letter out of a clutter of letters (not exactly your standard eye chart). However, the research did show that after just 30 hours of gaming (we assume, not consecutively), the ability to pick out letters showed a substantial improvement. So, the next time someone (parents, spouse, etc.) suggest that you're wasting too much time on that first person shooter, just tell them you're improving your eyesight.

Because of video games I am very good at navigating in cities because I am used to memorizing and using maps.

Two sides to every coin...
Another school shooting happens. In an effort to prove that the blame rests solely on video games someone who is wishes to "protect the children" will use this study to "prove" that the shooter used first person shooters to practice before the real deal.

Re: Two sides to every coin...
blaming games for violence and de-sensitising people is just BS and for saying so makes you just as retarded as any one else claiming the same...
COLUMBINE those parents dint notice the sawed off shotguns in thier home????
what about the kids torturing them and teasing them kids are brutal and hazing them..
not to justify what they did it was totally wrong but maybee some of these kids picking on others might think twice before fucking with someone else and picking on them because they dont wear the clothes that they feel is "trendy"
what side of the coin is where someone gets tortured everyday for four years????
yeah blame it on video games retard...
