3 things I learned:
1.
I knew teens played a lot of video
games but I had no idea how many varieties.
80% of teens play five or more different game genres, and 40% play eight
or more types of games.
2.
I was surprised to learn the
majority of most popular games are not violent.
3. I am not sure how I feel about the next thing I learned, “Teens who play games with others in the room exhibit more civic participation.”
1.
I agree and was not shocked to learn
that the industry rating system does not always work. 32% of gaming teens report that at least one
of their favorite games is rated mature or adults only.
2.
I agree that there are many genres
of games that are more broadly popular than others, some of which lead
themselves to group play.
1. I
am not sure my question is a question, but why don’t parents pay more attention
to what their children are doing? I
myself don’t have children but when I watch my cousins or friends children I
always know what they are watching and/or playing.
Most parents are busy trying to support their families. I try to keep an eye on my kids but some things slip by me. I just found a video my kids made of themselves beating each other up. Not cool and kind of creepy.
