I always knew we are smarter. Here is a report from Lantrocity.

NEWSPAPER: The London Times
Children who like to spend time playing computer games may be highly intelligent and destined for highflying careers, rather than introverted failures, according to a study published yesterday. Very young children were found to become more aggressive after playing or watching a violent game, though the effects did not persist. The Home Office report said that more research was needed as there was little evidence of the long-term effects on the behavior of children hooked on games. One study of 127 people, including 63 children, found that compared to other youngsters, "computer geeks were highly intelligent, motivated and achieving people." A five-year follow up found that the younger ones had done well educationally, gone on to university and then into higher ranking jobs, it said. It added that while a small number of youngsters were in danger of becoming dependent on computer games, it was a harmless dependence.

You pissed at your computer? Did you hit it or what? I hope you didn't fry your mobo, or leave a smell.

Games like Civilization, Civilizations II, and the Sim City series seem pretty educational to me. Those are what I grew up playing. Of course, I also played DOOM :D
