- ausjke 9y agoor similar hours on games especially for boys. the smart phone is taking a toll on teenage daily.
- megaman22 9y agoWithout PC gaming and getting into modding as a teenager, I'd have never become a programmer. Not to mention all the experience unborking computers after trying to install something trashed the system. Or the history and geography I picked up by osmosis playing strategy games. Those hours were much more valuable in the long run than most of the time I spent in the classroom.
- eat_veggies 9y agoModern mobile/social games and even some PC games are pretty locked down and difficult to mod, which makes them way less educational than the PC games of your time.
- megaman22 9y agoI'm sort of glad that my parents never got me and my sister any game consoles; we had the PC for my mother to write test reports, and do the taxes, and type up my father's logging invoices. Consequently, I had the advantage of getting to frig around a lot with getting games to run, and with PC games that had a thriving, if rough-around-the-edges modding scene. I don't think I would have gotten anything like the same learnings if I'd been playing on a SNES or Genesis, vs a Pentium clone. Not to mention the dramatic skew in the kinds of games that are available on the different platforms.
- adamnemecek 9y agoYeah so what?
- TrainedMonkey 9y agoI think there is no standard for amount of homework. Amount of assigned homework mostly depends on the teacher. Students can choose electives which does provide some control over the total amount. From what I can remember amount of homework per-class features heavily on teacher review sites (ratemyproffesor.com).
