Want your kids to be awesome at life? Give them vidya.

According to a European Study, "video games can stimulate learning of facts and skills such as strategic thinking, creativity, cooperation and innovative thinking, which are important skills in the information society."

The Guardian reported on the study, which said video games had practical applications as both entertainment and should be looked to for the future of education. Maybe in a few years, your kids will take Wii Fit instead of Gym and Math Blaster instead of Algebra.
