A good game (2)

Oh great! I love constructive post on my comment box!

Since these are personal comments, I don't think we should or should not agree with one another. Most important is the point is being shared.

My personal experience is that gaming taught me a lot of things. Take for example, StarCraft. Playing the scenario will be as good as reading a story book (more interactive). You learn something as good as reading a book.

There are some people who are good at reading books. There are some people who don't. Vice-versa, there are some who play games and some don't. Game has just open up another learning platform for "the other" group.

Rationing Pots is one good example brought up. It is another method of putting a child into a real jungle for survival training. You may learn rationing in school but this is where you practice and apply your skills. Implementation is far more important than theory. Just like getting into a school science lab after a lesson on theory.

It may not be learning something VERY IMPORTANT but every micro learning makes a better person.

Time passes every second and brain works as you take each breath. You can choose to learn something or you can choose to stall.

Do you know how long can you hold your breath? You never need to know until someone tie and throw you into the sea. If the day does come, every micro skill counts. It would be a matter of live and death.

More comments please!

Sorry to pour cold water but..

Pleasure and leisure don't fall into the postion of advancing one's ability.

This completely makes no sense. Sorry for being straight, but I think the point needs to be made. You cannot get bananas from non-living 'humans' always at the same spot, you cannot go any where without danger in a Jungle. Do you have any idea how dangerous a Jungle is?? You cannot reach a single banana on the tree. you cannot exchange banan from a chipanzee in the jungl with mesos or any currency(like leaves) you can get nearby.

Yes of couse. Playing is much more fun than reading some words. But you learn when you read. Being interactive is good, but not with a computer - something that will never actually happen in life.

You learn something as good as reading a book.
Do I need say more?
