"For whenever one plays a game, and whatever game one plays, learning happens constantly, whether the players want it to, and are aware of it, or not. And the players are learning “about life,” which is one of the great positive consequences of all game playing. This learning takes place, continuously, and simultaneously in every game, every time one plays. One need not even pay much attention."
Response
I complete agree with this quote from the article. I have played video games for my entire life and you would be surprised at the things that I have learned from playing them. I did not even realize at the time that I was learning. In particular I remember playing the game Age of Empires on the computer when I was a kid. This game taught me tons of information about history that I still remember today. As games advance the capabilities for learning are only going to become more and more advanced.
