Good or bad?

This is what video games looked like when I was a tot. For those of you who don't know this game....it is Atari's PONG. All you did was knock a block back and fourth. What riveting fun.
Think they have come far? I have no idea what game this is from....just liked the picture. Think her cyber image looks like me. Her arms, her "rack" and her inner thighs.

Back to my point.

Are video games good or bad?

I really didn't play them growing up...just at friends homes...and I had a few games on my Apple II C personal computer. Santa was GOOD to me that year.

I ask the question because my kid played her first "video game" today. On my cell phone.

It is called "Monkey Preschool"...downloaded to your phone and it has matching games, letter and number recognition, and puzzles. And it is cute. Well...cute as far as video games go.

She played it and was in love from the moment she started. It was like toddler video game crack or something...she was hooked.

"MOMMY! I need your phone!" I can't count how many times I heard that.

Indeed, she is learning matching, numbers, and problem solving skills...all to the tune of a cheering monkey.

Good thing that isn't annoying.

So, if you can download applications to your cell phone...and you have a preschooler....get Preschool Monkey.

Your kid's future SAT scores will surely benefit.
