"VIDEO GAMES are GOOD FOR CHILDREN (?)"

Even my eyes cannot believe upon reading the title. But when I started to dig in I understood the whole point. 

A study spearheaded by Psychologist Andrew Przybylski of Oxford Internet Institute aimed to know deeper the effects of gaming among children. The researchers gathered data from 5,000 children from ages 10-15 years old and asked them questions related to their social, and their general satisfaction in life. 

After the data tabulation, it appeared that those who play three hours and more are missing out a big part of their social skills thus more grumpy and irritable. While those who spend moderate time in gaming are jauntier. Although the result of the study did not really imply nor promote that video gaming can be good for children...it's only message is MODERATION is still the key. ;)
