Top 5 Myths about Video Games
According to this article by Josh Clark the top five myths of video games are
- There are millions of Atari cartridges buried in the New Mexico Desert. [Americans probably thought that since they were called cartridges they could be used as bullets and hoarded them]
- Pong was the first video game [the name may smell but it was a cool game in its time, long, long, ago]
- You can use chips from a PlayStation 2 to form a guided missile system [doesn’t everybody know you need a PlayStation 3 for this?]
- Girls don’t play video games [just try telling that to my daughter and her friends and we’ll see where they stuff the wii remote]
- Video games lead to violence [ video games don’t lead to violence, people do … I’ve heard a similar argument elsewhere …]
