Are Video Games Good For Kids?

Are Video Games Good For Kids? 08/11/2004 05:30 PM
While it does seem that the anti-videogame folks blow the danger of video games way out of proportion, a new festival seems to be going in the other direction by claimin g video games are good for kids. It's such a broad statement that it has to be untrue. Certainly, some video games might be good for kids, in helping them deal with differe nt kinds of challenges, but it hardly seems like random anecdotal evidence (about all that's presented in the article) proves that video gaming is "good." For example, the article includes this sentence: "Dr Judy Robertson, of Edinburgh University, said some children had told her during computer games workshops that playing violent games did not result in violence in real life." Just because some kids say something doesn't necessarily make it true (even if it probably is true). If they really want to show this, wouldn't it make more sense to actually promotes the ways that video games can be helpful to kids, rather than just declaring it so? I'm all for real studies that show the positive impact games have for kids, but hyping up something without substance just makes the arguments seem weak.

Cory Doctorow: Child's Play is EGM's recurring feature in which kids who play video games are sat down in front of game classics like Tetris and Adventure and Donkey Kong, then encouraged to deliver scathing hilarious commentary on the general suck of yesteryear's treasured games as compared to today's offerings.

Bobby: I've played this on my cell phone.

EGM: [Pointing to the humans on the ground] What do they look like?

Parker: They look like those little characters in the game Life, the little people you have to stick in your car.

EGM: Before this came out in compilations, we used to put quarters in arcade machines.

Parker: You wasted quarters on this?

EGM: Yeah.

Parker: That's so sad.

SD School in the News for Handheld
Program 06/24/2004 11:10 AM

High school teachers: Handhelds, laptops improved grades: This is a very cool thing in a city about 90 miles from Sioux Falls. Yankton is not a big city (pop. 13,500), but they have a beautiful new high school and are evidently doing good things with their tech budget.

Two pilot programs that gave hand-held computers and laptops to students at Yankton High School resulted in higher grades, teachers at the school say. [...]

The school gave 75 randomly selected students and four teachers handheld computers called M130s last October. In addition, school officials used grant money to purchase 30 laptop computers, which were given to 25 students and four teachers.

Good for them. South Dakota rules.

ToastProphet Games is up and running offering a dozen or so old school retro 2D games for Macintosh, from stuff like homicidal OompaLoompas to Demonic Traffic Cones, there's a bunch of very odd quirky stuff, most comparable to EpicBanana's style of game programming. The games have their bugs but hopefully are entertaining and good for wasting a small bit of time. More advanced games are planned for release soon.
