I used to think... but now I think...

As I watched today's TED Talk about video games, the most prominent claim that the speaker made was that video games are awesome for kids. The speaker made this claim because video games increase the general cognitive skills through out the people who play, they have the capability to increase academic learning in school through collaborative thinking, and have actually increased grey matter in the brain. I still think that video games have a positive impact on kids. From personal experience, I use to play Super Mario Cart with my cousins at my grandma's house. One of the hardest things about the game was to stay balanced on the road while dodging other opponents, obstacles, and the attacks on your player. This kind of play is very stimulating and encourages team work depending on what kind of level you're on. Although I think that we should do everything in moderation, I agree with the speaker. Video games have the power to stimulate and help teach the new generations to come.
