The Untold Facts

I just recently read an article about the positive effects of video games which you can read at http://www.raisesmartkid.com/3-to-6-years-old/4-articles/34-the-good-and-bad-effects-of-video-games . While  I was reading it I thought about how biased most researchers are and whenever you here about anything about video games on the news it is always  about the negative effects. To my surprise it turns out there are more positive than negative effects. Some of these effects are following instructions, multitasking, simultaneous tracking of many shifting variables, situational awareness, and management. A lot of people are only told half of the facts that are there, so their opinions are formed before they hear everything that video games have to offer.

A New Way to Game

                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Sony has said that their next phone will be able play PlayStation games. You have to be on the same WiFi  network though. There is also an attachment called the GCM10 game control mount that will hook up to your phone. I think there are more cons than pros because you would need a really high powered phone to play the games, the game would be dumbed down to actually be playable, you have to be on the same network as your PlayStation 4 to actually play the games and that means no games on the go, and you would have to buy the game controller mount. I can see how this would be good for people who share consoles with someone else because  they could both be playing at the same time.
