Because it is always fun to analyze and bitch about statistics.
Chicago Tribue ran an article Monday (07072003) titled Study: College students got games, grades. The Pew Internet & American Life Project recently surveyed 1162 students on two and four-year campuses from the US and found:
- 70% reported playing video, computer, or online games at least once in a while.
- 60% said gaming helped them spend time when friends were not available.
- 65% stated gaming has little to no influence in taking time away from friends and family.
- yet 48% also said gaming keeps them from studying "some" or "a lot".
The article concluded by pointing out how more men play video games than women (53% versus 17%), yet more women played computer games than men (32% versus 19%), and that Asians had the highest disproportion of "gamers" compared to the overall population (14% of them were "gamers" and only accounted for 6% of the survey pool).
"You hear the myth of the kid who's pale because he's psent the last 72 hours playing Quake. But the college students seem to understand that [gaming] could keep them from sutdying and acknowledge that it did, but we didn't notice serious academic issues they were reporting. From the adcademic perspective, they integrated gaming into their everyday academic life. They're gaming when it's convenient." - Steve Jones, survey leader.
