I read the opposite of this in a news article a few months ago.

I think this is nonsense, maybe it can apply to game consoles as they are related to TV.
But if it's computers I think the brain gets more excercise and spontainous reactions than a armchair game console.

What I find most amusing is two of the three R's don't even start with the letter R

...but I guess phonetics wins.

I wonder if all the little young gamers don't learn how to spell at all because of it? I mean...l33t? !L33t!

Of this. I saw a commentary on tv today about children going into college being aliterate.

At the begging of this article you may have noticed these words: "...have formulated a hypothesis..."

Translated, that means "this is what these guys think". No mention of pesky facts or such.

Well, you 'think' too don't ya? I say, until the facts are in, go with what you know...or at least with what you think you know.
