Guitar Hero for real
Набрел вот на заметочку про исследования вокруг гитар хироу. Готов подписаться под каждым словом. Меня ребенок как раз в пятницу просил выкачать ноты от Metallica - One, Heart - Barracuda, Slow ride, Bull on parade, Paranoid, Raining blood...
Sure, some studies have shown that excessive gaming can lead to less interest in things like studying and doing homework, but it turns out that, pretty unsurprisingly, playing Guitar Hero or Rock Band might actually lead children to want to learn... to rock out on real instruments, anyway. That's right, according to a truly shocking report in The Times of London, roughly half of the 3 to 18 year-olds in the UK have played a music game, and one fifth of them have been motivated by their playing to give a real instrument a try, which has led to 2.5 million new budding Ted Nugents (or Jared Letos) springing up. So it's true, the kids aren't exactly studying, but at least they're doing something that could maybe eventually lead to them standing up or... something. School's out forever, dude.
