Do Video Games Cause Brain Rot?

Gaming has often been associated with myths and stereotypes like fostering laziness, promoting violence, and leading to social isolation. Our listener Jon, an avid gamer in his 60s, wants to challenge these assumptions. Can gaming actually improve our memory, spatial awareness, and alertness? In this episode of Today I Learned, we debunk these myths and explore the nuanced impacts of gaming on our brains.
