http://www.lockergnome.com/media/2012/03/09/are-video-games-consuming-our-lives/ - Do you spend too much time playing video games? Is the world at large wasting too much time galavanting about in fake worlds when its citizens could better spend that time working out real-world solutions to real-world problems? It's been said that "Modern Warfare 2 players have invested more than 1.75 billion hours (200,000+ years) of gameplay on Xbox Live alone since release." Can you even wrap your mind around how much time that really is? Civilizations have risen and fallen (and risen and fallen again a few times more) in that span. Would we be colonizing other planets in other star systems by now if it weren't for thetremendous waste of time that video games bring to us?
