Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report had writer Steven Johnson on the show a couple of days ago. Johnson Talks about his book Everything Bad Is Good for You: How Today’s Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter.

But more importantly Johnson discusses how videogames are a positive influence on our youth us. Its really one of the best, and simple arguments ever made to defend Videogames. Violence in videogames is a moot point compared to the creativity, skills and knowledge which videogames more often spread.

Now excuse me while I go and kill some hookers in GTA just for spite.

Oh, and there’s a video!
