Sjöberg, Lore. “Video-game

'wisdom' you can use in real

life.” Cable News Network,

2010. Print.

Sjöberg’s article explains how a study at the

University of Rochester shows how playing video

games enhances a person’s real-world skills. In the

study, a person’s decision-making skills are

increased. Sjöberg also states that he has felt this

enhancement through playing video games

throughout years of playing video games. Sjöberg

later gives hilarious examples of how video gaming

has helped his decisions.

I believe that Sjöberg

approached the idea of

video gaming and real-

world applications in a

comedic way. The article

was not that helpful in

explaining how video

games enhanced people’s

skills. However, he did say

that video games and real-

world applications have a

connection and that there

are studies that go over that

connection.
