Video gamers have received a lot of flak lately, mostly concerning the level of sex and violence and how it will warp the young minds of this generation. That remains a subject of debate, but we do have evidence in studies that show how video games improve one's visual skills.
Video game players scan their environment quickly much better than normal humans. Improved scanning speed is essential in avoiding car accidents and similar situations. Unfortunately, it takes a hefty amount of video gaming in order to attain such a highly tuned sense of sight. This is not an excuse to hole yourself up in a dark room mashing joypads but in certain situations, heavy amounts of video gaming does add up to your ability to scan the surroundings quickly.
