While games carry many connotations including happiness, fun, and adventure, or on the negative side...wasting time, and spurring violence, there is definitely a more serious side that people do not always associate with gaming. For instance, many games offer educational experiences, messages (i.e. health, ethical, and social) and social interaction. Games also help to develop motor skills, and stimulate brain activity.
While many people jokingly make fun of the "gamers," little do they know that these so called, gamers, are actually learning and making their brains work... for fun!

I just didn't think about it until I read this, so just wanted to let you know that I agree =)
