At last kids will have a good excuse for playing games while they should be doing their homework. A psychology professor, Linda Jackson, started the investigation with a survey of the patterns in use of technology. The middle-school students took the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking, a test that involves tasks of creativity like drawing an interesting and exciting picture from a curved shape, giving it a title and then, and then creating a story on it. What they realized was that while the use of technology like phones and computers did not really do much for the kids, those that played video games were more creative. Through this research, the researchers were hoping that the results will make game developers figure out what part of the game affect creativity.
Finally, I have a good reason for playing games during my homework time. But anyway, this is very amazing. Before I thought video games were useless and a complete waist of time. But it makes you have greater creativity. What I really like is how they went out and collected data and have proof, they didn't just make up a story. Looks like from no one I will be playing games more often. But I think that even kids who don't play video games as much, can be very creative, video games are not a way to get creativity, it is used for fun. And you cant get creativity, u are ether creative or not.
