Yes makes you smarter but you will lack knowledge. knowledge is in the books. Mind you, you can't be smarter than what you know. So books give you the knowledge, games give you a higher ability to manipulate that knowledge to solve problems quickly. 3 Likes |

ToyinDipo: You're the first to call me a female for a long time. Dem don "bro"me tired lol. There are lots of women programming over here C++, PHP and Phyton and Java. I also work within the realm of Drupal, PHP, HTML5, CSS, and SQL. I'm not an expert, just intermediate. Still in school, still getting there. |

Viciyus: Lol no vex. It's not intentional. This is something I'vet hought about so I just regurgitated some of the main ideas I remember. The only uncommon thing there is associative hierarchy which is just a fancy word for your ability to associate things with one another. Its common amongst multitaskers and polyglots (speakers of many languages) To illustrate what I mean if I say "apple" to someone who isn't highly associative he would just think "fruit" but a highly associative fellow would think "fruit, red, computer, sweet, Steve Jobs" The other somewhat technical psychology terms aren't that uncommon. Working memory; capacity to hold items in memory. Spatial reasoning; ability to reason about positions in space. Fluid intelligence; ability to solve novel problems that typically don't rely on stale information. Crystallized intelligence, brilliance that depends on long term memory. My point is that we all have different helpings of all these features of intelligence. Different games shift the proportions in different ways that could reinforce or degrade ones original state. |

How can someone claim game dulls the mind? Even some female geeks I've met play sudoku to exercise the mind. |

I used to play FIFA and Ghost Recon until I figured out the American Football game Madden. It's like playing chess with computer images. Literally. The smartest guy usually wins. If two smart guys play, it comes down to computer luck. |

Clara16: Too complex for human beings. Computers have ruined chess for everyone. 15, 20 years ago, Kasparov was competitive against the IBM Deep Blue computer. Kasparov is arguably the best player in the history of the game, btw. Today, the world champ, who is rated HIGHER than Kasparov EVER was, would need to play a handicapped computer just to fight for a DRAW!!!! And the computer could be on an iPhone, not even a specially built computer. Btw, the current champ played to a draw against then world champ Kasparov when he was only 13 yrs old in 2004. 1 Like |
