I guess the stereotype that Asians can't drive has been proven wrong!

I think the point of the test was to hit all the cones and beat the time. He got a gold - which is usually very difficult in some tests.

It's awesome, but really unhealthy at the same time. A four-year-old should not be that good at gaming. A four-year-old really shouldn't be playing games, period.

It's not the content of the games, it's the games themselves. Plenty of legitimate research has been done that shows that digital things like TV and games can seriously screw up a child's developmental process. I see it in the paper all the time.

On the contrary, if the game isn't too violent or explicit it helps to develop motor skills in kids.

Now, let's not be hasty. Just because I teeter on the very verge of insanity and my entire mental structure has facilitatedly collapsed on numerous occasions doesn't mean I was screwed over by playing too much Wing Commander while I was being potty-trained.

Yes, but they develop those anyway eventually. However, other (more important) skills, things like interaction, are stunted.

Look, it's really common sense. When you have a kid, you play with him or her, you take him to the park, you leave him at preschool- whatever it is, he should never be plopped down in front of the tube like that.

Wow, he's good! I don't think i got many golds in GT D: Japanese kids are so cute too! :P

I agree, i don't think he should really be playing games until he's a bit older. But he does have some good reactions comming from that video.

Actually, I've heard on the news - video games can seriously improve hand-eye co-ordination and other skills in children, not to mention this kid is going to be a skilled (hopefully safe - not speedy) driver as an adult.

For example, my half-brother, who plays lots of driving games, is allowed to drive on my father's property. He has been driving since he was about 12, and he is a good driver. On the other hand, my older sister never played any games, never drove any cars until she was about 19 and she was in 5 accidents in the first few years of driving - not to mention it was scary as shit being in the car with her getting on the freeway. So I think it's great to have experience with a driving simulator.

I've never heard any real proof that video games can screw-up children. You may be right about Television, since it's not interactive, and doesn't offer those benefits. However, both games and especially television are a great source of information and much can be learned from it. I can learn loads more from watching a 2 hour history channel movie than I can from 2 hours of history class. A picture says 1,000 words? Well a moving picture says a million. Try reading a million words in 2 hours.


Either way, everything in moderation. Too much of anything is a bad thing. ;)

He didn't deny that. But rather commenting on all the other skills he would not be learning. Which means that it would "seriously screw up a child's developmental process". He can improve his hand-eye co-ordination via video games later in life.

Yeah. In the long run, proper cognitive and social skills are FAR more important than hand-eye coordination. I mean, really. We don't have sparring matches to compete for jobs :laugh:

The child is developing his motor skills. Get it? Motor skills? Driving a car? ehhh, that was pretty bad wasn't it? :D



motor skills
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: the ability to perform complex muscle-and-nerve acts that produce movement; fine motor skills are small movements like writing and tying shoes, gross motor skills are large movements like walking and kicking

If you want your kid to have good motor skills, you're much better off tossing a ball around with him.
