Are You Ready for the G Generation?

Research into the development of the brain has shown early childhood and adolescence are the critical years for how the brain is prepared for perceiving and reacting to the world. These critical years leave our brains with a particular set of assumptions and beliefs about how the world works.
  
Games reinforce certain beliefs about the players themselves, how the world should work, how people relate to one another, and about the purpose of life in general. 

Games create a self-centered universe where the player is in charge, and within certain rules or boundaries, can manipulate other people and objects. 

Data from the Kaiser Family Foundation shows that an average 8-10 year old spends more than an hour a day with video games. The huge amount of time spent with video games during their formative years has led the Gamer or G Generation to be “hard wired” differently than those who came before them.
