[aphroditesaphrodisiac]

Honestly TV is probably worse than video games just due to how passive it is. Depending on the game being played, it can train creativity, problem solving and communication skills.

Remember he did not say “spend your life in video games”

Funny that playing skyrim as a kid made me want to explore the shit out of our real world. Now everytime I save some money and have abit of free time I go backpacking somewhere I've never been.

Playing videogames inspired me to be a videogame creator.

I'm 74 and I've played video game for 40 years, I believe that great for older people, they keep your mind sharp, there's always a negative with anything you do, stay with the positives.

Me as a kid: obsessed with video games. Me as an adult: working in tech lol. Irony is I don't play as much

[sotacoresabreenav]

Yes as long you can stay innovative and not get addicted or unproductive with it. Totally agree here 👍 👏 🙌🏽

20 years ago, Need for Speed Underground pushed my interest in cars and subsequently car design, which influenced my career greatly so I completely agree on this.

Or to why I was inspired to draw and become an artist — Mega Man, Sonic, Splatoon, Castlevania, etc.

I’ve never discouraged my son from playing / he’s always been a smart kid and did well in school and was motivated to work. For him/ it’s a blessing as he’s very computer literate and loves programming and technology etc

He's not wrong, there always is a logical reason for everything people try to do and learn.

[domhamai]

As long as in moderation it can be okay. It’s important to go outside and be physically active too.

[toddspangler]

That's how I got into software engineering because of video games. Thank you Mom and Dad for letting my obsession become my career.

[errebusaether]

Elon Musk is right. It’s the reason how I learned English at a fluent level when I was just a 9 year old kid.

[jacobesnard]

Video games gave me the critical thinking skills to solve abnormal problems.

[annabeth]

tbh how I got a degree in computer science is because of video games. I plan to make games from scratch. what he's saying is definitely true. people who play video games have the potential to be really smart in technology and also have the potential to be really successful.

[richardyamato]

Im glad I never listened to people saying I should quit video games

[funlovenboy]

You know the funny things I’m in programming classes, and the teacher’s first assignment was introduce your self in the discussion board and borderline every students favorite hobby was video games
