Do computer games affect the youth of today?
Computer games don’t affect kids – I mean, if Pacman affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.” – Kristian Wilson, Nintendo executive, 1989
Anyone going clubbing tonight then??

The games of today do affect children. If you would compare the speed of the reflexes that children had lets say 25 years ago and compare those to the reflexes that a kid nowadays has you'll see that those are in most cases a lot faster. Also hand eye coordination has in a lot of cases improved.
A lot has been said about games or computers in general would be bad for children. In a lot of cases though I get the feeling that this is said by people who have never ever played a computer game in their life besides Freecell.
Topeka, KS - High school sophomore Brett Tyson was suspended today after teachers learned he may be using PHP.
"A teacher overheard him say that he was using PHP, and as part of our Zero-Tolerance policy against drug use, he was immediately suspended. No questions asked," said Principal Clyde Thurlow. "We're not quite sure what PHP is, but we suspect it may be a derivative of PCP, or maybe a new designer drug like GHB."
Parents are frightened by the discovery of this new menace in their children's school, and are demanding the school do something. "We heard that he found out about PHP at school on the internet. There may even be a PHP web ring operating on school grounds," said irate parent Carol Blessing. "School is supposed to be teaching our kids how to read and write. Not about dangerous drugs like PHP."
In response to parental demands the school has reconfigured its internet WatchDog software to block access to all internet sites mentioning PHP. Officials say this should prevent any other students from falling prey like Brett Tyson did. They have also stepped up locker searches and brought in drug sniffing dogs.
