Video Gaming Is a Waste of Time

Olivia and Kurt Bruner, Playstation Nation: Protect Your Child from Video Game Addiction. New York: Center Street, 2006. Opposing Viewpoints Research Center (Gale). Web. 11 Mar. 2010.

This article includes studies of interviews of college students about their gaming habits. The authors argue that video games turn bright, success-bound young people into dull, failure-bound couch potatoes. They found this to be true, especially because video games allow people to escape from the real world and neglect their responsibilities. Other topics this article includes/can relate to are how video games trigger aggression and/or addiction.
