Video Games

I slept really well last night. That journey must have tired me out. It was also a very nice pleasant sunny day after the last two dismal rain-soaked days.

Watched an Horizon science programme on the iPlayer last night about video games of all things. It was discussing whether violent video games were progenitors of violence in real life or not, and it was argued that it does seem to increase the propensity for violence, and that other factors such as frustration can also lead to such anti-social behaviour. They showed a version of Tetrus which was designed to increase frustration as the game designers introduced blocks into it randomly that would no way fit the rest of the blocks coming down. Anyway, a totally fascinating subject.

2014-2015: 19. Are Video Games Really That Bad?
Horizon explores the differing opinions on video games. They frequently stand accused of causing violence and addiction in young people - but is there truth in the claim?"
