of a virtual community that allows them to connect with people
all over the globe in some kinda shared experience. And then there's the argument

So, at this point,
00:00:02.293 --> 00:00:05.963
let's raise some of these bigger questions
around gaming.
00:00:07.923 --> 00:00:13.001
Now, there have been news reports that say
that gaming is creating a generation
00:00:13.179 --> 00:00:14.972
that is sleepwalking through life.
00:00:16.182 --> 00:00:18.351
But they tell me
that there's some recent research
00:00:18.434 --> 00:00:22.772
that argues that the brain of gamers
is quite alive,
00:00:23.314 --> 00:00:26.015
with areas of the brain
actually increasing in size.
00:00:26.859 --> 00:00:29.445
There are people who worry
that staring at the screen
00:00:29.737 --> 00:00:32.657

that allows them to connect with people
all over the globe

in some kinda shared experience.
00:00:43.002 --> 00:00:45.092
And then there's the argument
against the glorification
00:00:46.001 --> 00:00:48.214
of weaponry and the simulation
of violence,
00:00:48.464 --> 00:00:51.067
which may actually,
in certain situations, they say,
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:54.512
help people to explore risk and morality.
