Your Brain on Video Games

While watching the second TED Talk called, "Your Brain on Video Games." The speaker's argument was that video games can be good for people. As a doctor that works in a lab, the speaker performed multiple research studies that has tested the effect video games have on people. She found that gamers usually have better eye sight, better concentration and tracking skills, and better multitasking skills. The speaker also addressed the counter argument by saying that video games should be used in moderation. Abusing technology can lead to health problems, just like anything else that is used to an extreme. The speaker also talked about how many adults and teachers think that children who can't sit still have attention deficit disorder, but really they just aren't being stimulated enough in school.  I know that when I don't have anything to do, I find myself playing little games on my phone to stay entertained, and I don't have ADD. I agree with the speaker on everything she said though out the TED Talk. She was a very effective at making her clam convincing.
