Is it a new medium equivalent

9、to film and music, a valuable educational tool, a form of harmless fun or something terrible that makes children violent and stupid? Video gaming is all these things, depending on whom you ask. Amid all the arguments, however, three important factors are generally overlooked: that attitudes to gamin

10、g are marked by a generational divide; that there is no convincing evidence that games make people violent; and that games have great potential in education. Attitudes towards gaming Attitudes towards gaming depend to a great extent on age. In America, for example, half of the population plays compu

11、ter or video games. However most players are under 40according to Nielsen, a market-research firm, 76% of themwhile most critics of gaming are over 40. An entire generation that began gaming as children has kept playing. The average age of American gamers is 30. Most are computer natives who grew up

12、 with technology, argues Marc Prensky of Games2train, a firm that promotes the educational use of games. He describes older people as computer immigrants who, like newcomers anywhere, have had to adapt in various ways to their new technological world. Just getting by in a foreign land without some g

13、rasp of the local language is difficult, says Mr. Prensky. Computer immigrants have had to learn to use technologies such as the Internet and mobile phones. But relatively few of them have embraced video games. The word game itself also confuses matters, since it makes them seem like playthings. Wha

14、t they dont understand, because theyve never played them, is that these are complex games, which take 30, 40 or 100 hours to complete, says Mr. Prensky. Games are, in fact, played mainly by young adults. Only a third of gamers are under 18. Its just a generational divide, says Gerhard Florin, the Eu

15、ropean boss of Electronic Arts, the worlds biggest games publisher. People do not know what they are talking about, because they have never played a game. And yet, they say that millions of gamers are stupid or violent. Computer natives who have played video games since childhood already regard them

16、 as a form of entertainment equivalent to films and music. Older computer natives now have children of their own and enjoy playing video games with them. The gaming industry is trying to address the generational divide. It is producing games designed to appeal to people who have never played games a

17、nd encouraging gamers (who may occasionally play simple web-based games, or games on mobile phones) to play more. This has led to the development of games with a wider appeal. Some of them replace the usual control pad with novel input devices: microphones (麦克风) for singing games, cameras for dancin

18、g and action games, and even musical instruments. In addition, the industry has started to attract more women, who seem to prefer social simulation (模拟) games such as The Sims, and older people, who (if they play games at all) often prefer versions of card games and board games. Other promising area

19、s include portable (便携式的) gaming, mobile gaming and online downloads of simple games. Many people enjoy gaming, but do not necessarily want to commit themselves to a long quest that will take dozens of hours to complete. May gaming make people violent? But arent critics right to worry that gaming mi

20、ght make people violent? In his paper, Mr. Williams describes his study carried out with Marko Skoric of the University of Michigan. The study concentrated on a massively multiplayer (多人参与的) online role-playing game (MMORPG) called Asheron Call 2. This type of game requires the player to wander arou

21、nd a fantasy world and kill monsters to build up attribute points. It is virtually more violent than the average video game and should have more effect, given the highly repetitive nature of the violence, the researchers noted. Two groups of subjects were recruited, none of whom had played MMORPGs b

22、efore and many of whom had never played video games at all. One group then played the game for a month, for an average of nearly two hours per day. The other group acted as a control. All people who participated were asked questions about how often they had aggressive social interactions (such as ar

23、guments with their spouses) during the course of the month to test the idea that gaming makes people more aggressive. Game players, it turned out, were no more aggressive than the control group. Whether the test subjects had played games before, the number of hours spent gaming, and whether they lik

24、ed violent movies or not, made no difference. The researchers noted, however, that more research is still needed to assess the impact of other types of games. All games are different, and only when more detailed studies have been carried out will it be possible to say anything about the impact of ga

25、ming. Games have great potential in education. Whats more, plenty of games, far from encouraging violence, are morally complex, subtle and, very possibly, improving. Many now explicitly require players to choose whether to be good or evil, and their choices determine how the game they are playing de

26、velops. Several games based on the Star Wars movies require players to choose between the light and dark sides of the Force, equivalent to good and evil. Even games with no educational purpose require players to learn a great deal. Games are complex and force players to make a huge number of decisio

27、ns. Gamers must construct ideas about the in-game world, learn its rules through trial and error (错误) , solve problems and puzzles, develop strategies and get help from other players through the Internet when they get stuck. Games can be used in many other ways. Tim Rylands, a British teacher in a p

28、rimary school near Bristol, recently won an award from Becta, a government education agency, for using computer games in the classroom. By projecting the fantasy world of Myst, a role-playing game, on to a large screen and encouraging his 11-year-old pupils to write descriptions and reactions as he

29、plays it, he has achieved striking improvements in their English test scores. So games are inherently good, not bad? Actually they are neither, like books, films, the Internet, or any other medium. All can be used to depict sex and violence, or to educate and inform. Indeed, that there is violence a

30、nd sex in games is arguably a sign of the maturity of the medium, as games become more like films. 1.Video games are valuable or stupid depending on _.A. what is overlookedB. whom is askedC. whether they are violentD. whether they are educational2.No evidence exists to show that video games _.A. are
