We know there are good sugars and bad sugars, and we don't discuss whether food in general is good or bad for us. We need to be far more nuanced when we talk about the effects of video games.

We need to go beyond saying, 'I know what these games do because I see my son playing them,' and try to understand the complexities - that different video games have different effects.

People who played action video games have better vision in the sort of conditions where there is not much contrast. It can make all the difference when driving at dusk, or in fog, in being able, for instance, to see a dog crossing the road in twilight.

Video games are bad for you? That's what they said about rock-n-roll.

I never play video games! I'm so bad at it. I have, like, no manual dexterity.

Video games spark the imagination, empower the mind, and take you to the place where you have always wanted to be.
