The biggest problem is attention span. College-aged kids never learned to focus for long periods of time (something that video games can actually help improve, especially when working with others in-game is required). Their entire lives are in snippets; Tweets, Insta Stories, Fascistbook posts, and even a lot of podcast material can be found truncated.
I happily read - and write. Most of it has been fiction as of late, though.
Your average male college student spends hours a day playing video games—and has a horrible lack of academic commitment, focus, or general knowledge.
Yet young men will try to defend the educational value of video games in the same way that young women think they learn from Tik-Tok.
