Jane McGonigal over at the Huffington Post wrote an interesting article on how gaming can help improve quality of life. In her article, she explains that around 97% of boys and 94% of girls under the age of 18 are regular gamers showing how important gaming is to our lives these days.

Regardless, this article is an interesting read and a fresh take on the traditional “OMG gaming kills children” views published in mainstream media.
