Mario Kart can make you a better driver as researchers find video games help awareness

Spending hours playing video games instead of running around outside has been widely blamed as the cause of many problems among young people. But while it may prevent players from getting enough sleep or exercise, new research has shown that spending hours in front of a games console can have a positive impact. Playing action-based video games like Mario Kart could actually improve real-life skills like driving, according to the study. Playing violent video games and watching violence on television can lead to more aggressive behaviour in children, according to a new report. Angry feelings can also affect children of all ages subjected to screen violence, both real and fictional.
