The BBC seems to have redeemed itself by covering a story in Newsnight that shows that kids today have become brighter as a result of exposure to video games. The footage in the program negates the idea that all video games are bad for children. This is a far cry from its earlier coverage of Brain Training’s biased point of view regarding accents. The footage shows that games have helped in producing brighter kids nowadays, rather than accusing videogames for its negative influence on the kids.

According to Steve Johnson, contemporary media exposure of children has made them more active and not passive onlookers. It has also taught children that solving complex problems can b fun and need not b scary. He backed this up by showing a rise in IQ scores of children in last on hundred years.
