Not exactly Brain Surgery?

Many people have a belief that video games fry children's brains, and should be monitored or withheld from children. I believe that a lot of that criticism comes from adults that have never played video games themselves when they were younger (because they did not exist), or at least never played games such as exist today. Their argument is that they are playing with "mindless machines". I've always been on the fence on this subject because of articles like this

which shows that 3 hours of video games a week can improve speed , and efficiency in "everyday" tasks, including surgery!
