Computer Games May Help Teens Be Better Citizens

According to a recent study (PDF) by the Pew Internet & American Life project, playing computer games can provide benefits to teens. No serious negatives were found in teen's game playing. This is good since 97% report playing computer games; 75% playing at least once a week. Check out a brief MSNBC report of the study at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26726230/. The report closes with a positive message, “If we’re careful, we can harness young people’s interest in video games, and use them to connect them to a range of valuable experiences.”
