Myths and Controversies
http://www.pbs.org/kcts/videogamerevolution/impact/myths.html
The violent rampages and the school shootings that plagued the 1990s and 2000s have led to various questions and speculations whether these examples of violence are connected with the rise of digital media and the spread of violent computer games among youth in particular. Blaming computer games for making the kids more aggressive has even become some sort of trend in the recent years. I found this article quite interesting, as it tries to actually look at the problem more objective. While it does not and cannot prove that the computer game violence has no connection with certain incidents, it also shows that the reports of these games massively plaguing the psychology youth nowadays and transforming them into violent, bloodthirsty killers are an exaggeration. This article also tries to evaluate several other prejudices about the computer games and look at them from the more objective point of view.

i believe that video game scenarios may contribute to a minors mental development in both positive and negative aspects and it is why the military has used video game style training for such a long time over the last few decades. video games can develop certain dexterity skills and they can also desensitize or create a buffer between military personal and their target. if there is a link between the acts of violence that teens see or participate in through video games and in real life, i feel that it stems from a lack of parental guidance.
I agree with ethan but, i think the key is the Parental guidance. I wanted to read this Blog as it is along the line of mine. Think of how fast the computer game and just electronic industry and all the mediums within! and compared to how many of us own computers and violent computer games how many people have really gone and done some crazy shit?? Not too many. I think as with most thing's its how you use it and how much you use it not that you use it.
