In “Games,” Steven Johnson points out the difference between the benefits of reading and games. From his idea, we are shown that to being an avid reader is good for your education and the job market skills which are important for life in the future. By comparison, games help you exercise your brain and some parts of your body: through hand-eye coordination and visual intelligence but not much in the way of education. The most interesting part of his argument is that a book makes you use your imagination and it makes you understand a complicated message better than television or a video game. This essay reveals how modern media has a limitation of benefit in learning.
