Video Games related to LOWER attention span? That's impossible.... Wait what are we talking about?

Resource: http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/07/05/games.attention/index.html

Video games are things that today are used all over by kids and teens. They are not limited to teens or kids though, people in college and over can play them as well. Is this a bad thing? Well research conducted on this subject suggests this could sap away attention span. Video games and T.V. are one of the same in this group though. It is seen that this may be a problem for school especially. Over 50 percent of people have seen or admitted that they have an attention span of a dog. A.K.A., this is not a good sign. Although, it is wondered why media can take a person's attention and not school. School compared to media or video games may seem dull and slow, so it is very boring to a person. This could pose a problem for future generations since they can't focus on much anything.

I enjoyed the article very much. I believe this was well made and has made me an informed person on this subject. To put it in numbers, 9/10. I think parents could lower time on these electronics which in a way, make kids pretty angry.
