I'm gonna go ahead and make the obvious assumption that everyone here in this forum is a gamer.
That said, what do you guys think would have happened if you guys never encountered video games in your life? Either that, or you played it once and decided you hated it and never wanted to touch another one again.
Do you think your life would have been drastically different? Would your character and thoughts be on a different scale?
For me, I started playing video games when I was around kindergarten and Grade 1. That's quite young as I started out with a SNES. If I had never taken interest in it, i do believe I would be a way different guy than I am today. First and foremost, my grades would have been solid. All that time I've spent on video games could have been contributed to school, education, or something else like sports. Unfortunately, I do believe my parents when they make the excuse that video games bring down your grades.
On the counter-argument, the friends I would've made wouldn't be the same ones I have today. Some of my friends and I got to know each other a little better by relating/playing with each other on video games.
Lastly, I wouldn't be here posting this.
