Games

In the article Games the author argues for both sides, wether books or video games are better for a person and how they are bad. While reading this article I was not sure what side the author actually took. He fought for both sides, kind of leaving you to make your own choice at the end. He argued that video games are better for hand eye coordination in a person, and that books are better at keeping the mind "sharp" and good mental exercise. He also put out there that video games can be controlled, for the most part, as you would like them to be. Whereas books, you can't choose what happens in the end. You have to just take in what is on the pages and deal with it. I think that he has very good points in this article. I can also see why he jumped back and forth a lot. Honestly, I am not a gamer or a reader. If I had to chose to pick up a controller or a book though, I would probably choose a book. Just because I know how to deal with a book. I don't know anything about video games and don't have an interest in them. But I do see how they are good in their own ways.
