Gottshcall’s statement of “ simulate the big dilemma of life and people who consume a lot of fiction should be more capable social operators then people who don’t.” I find this statement to fit in with the statement those who read more are better off than those who do not. I see this working out more for college age kids because the more they read about the lattice sci fi movie, game, and book. The more they read and play the more they are going to think how can I create the USS Enterprise off Star Trek.   The problem is that with younger brains that have not developed like 22 and under this fiction can be bad for their brains. I agree and disagree with this. I agree that yes sometimes kids should not be playing video games that have too much fighting in it. At that early age kids will see that its ok to steal a car and go on to take over a city. The part that I disagree with is that as the young mind develops why not let them play a little. For me I always had it in the back of my mind that this is just a game nothing real is going to come from this other than enjoyment from playing.
