Scientist: Video Games can be educational

I learned a few things about history playing Age of Empire games. Some of those ancient civilizations I had never heard of before. It also got me interested in finding some more stuff on my own, outside of the game.

Also, I must say video games helped my reading comprehension as a child. I read instruction manuals before playing games so I knew what to do, and they always insisted on using words like simultaneously and invulnerable. At 6 years old, I shouldn't know what these words are yet, but I learned them reading those manuals, and many other words (like the difference between invisible and invincible). I'm not sure if manuals are still written in a manner that is as unfriendly to kids these days, so perhaps these don't help kids the way they did me.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
