22 sec read

Prepare to be shocked, and probably a bit scared, but this revealing video about our internet gaming addiction. Jane McGonigal, an author and the director of games research and development at California’s Institute for the Future dishes up some scary statistics.

I always knew that we were spending a lot of time on games like World and Warcraft and Bejeweled, but I’d never imagined it’d equate to numbers like this.
