Pick the badminton racket up. Scientists in Japan say they've found that video games can mess with your head and that it's better to grow up playing outside with friends than inside with Super Mario. In their study scientists found that playing video games for too long put strains on the test group's brains and made it hard for participants to concentrate even after the "game over" message popped up. Evidently a lot of video games arouse tension and fear, which could literally get on a person's autonomic nerves. Working in IT arouses tension and fear too. How are your autonomic nerves feeling today? Give 'em a hug.
