Pippy,

This peer reviewed study seems to dissagree with your opinion:

http://www.dcmp.org/caai/nadh174.pdf

Quote:We find strong evidence against the prevailing wisdom that childhood television viewing causes
harm to cognitive or educational development. Our preferred point estimate indicates that an
additional year of preschool television exposure raises average test scores by about .02 standard
deviations.

In another thread I posted my research paper on the positive effects of video games. I would be happy to re-post it here for you to review. In the paper one of the benefits mentioned is a large increase in speed and accuracy of doctors when performing remote laproscopic surgery. So, apparently there are real-life benefits from playing video games.
