81% but what does this percentage
actually mean it means that 81% dwells
teenagers have access to a gaming
console and we start 81 percent of their
was teenagers are able to connect with
one another without actually leaving
their beds and it also means that 81
percent as well as teenagers can make
new friends who are nothing like the
people out there schools now let’s look
at the effects of this positive you can
make new friends well nothing like the
people at your school also you can talk
to people without having to worry about
what they might think of you negative
these people might not be who they say
they are and just be trying to grab the
attention of somebody younger than them
so catfishing well after I signed up for
TEDx I was tempted to talk about one
thing something parents more teachers
may be very fond of gaming now some of
you here might be experienced gamers
know people who game or have never
touched a gaming console controller in
your life people say that staying up on
your PC Xbox Playstation or any gaming
console like that can ruin your brain
not in every case at least not in my
case it helps expand my social circle as
well as help me understand how people
live in different parts of the world and
time zones for example Indiana is
currently 5 hours behind us Illinois 6
New Mexico 7 and Saudi Arabia is 2 hours
people say that gaming is a form
procrastination and they’re not wrong it
can lead to dropped grades uncompleted
work detentions etc people use as an
excuse to stay in their room which
increases bad health like for example
vitamin vitamin D deficiency obesity and
here’s my story I got my console gone
through a game and joined random party
I’ll tell you about feel to people on
them three of them went to the same
elementary and middle school but go to
different high schools they used gaming
to contact each other Bailey she’s been
playing basketball ever since she was
little and has been passionate about it
her passion for basketball inspired me
to start playing I’ve been on the school
team this year unfortunately we haven’t
had any matches but that doesn’t matter
I enjoy myself I met Michael he is the
funniest person I’ve ever met
he’ll sit there on skype and when he
thinks that it’s too late for me to be
up he’ll start singing me a lullaby I’m
a Jacob people say were polar opposites
but we’re really not they also say that
we won’t be friends for much longer but
we’ve lost for two years so I think a
little while longer might be fine
show me that there is a point in life
he’s the one that motivated me to be up
here speaking in front of you today I
met Jordan Jordan is quite a story we
are polar opposites have completely
different political views can like
completely different TV shows different
views on the world and music especially
music I’ll be playing my music on skype
and all I hear is Dorothy can you turn
it off I’m like no Jordan so naturally I
turn it up louder I want you to take one
thing away with you today did gaming
destroy my social life or help enhance
it it’s connecting with someone 5,000
miles away hurt me or give me an
okay yeah no it was well and it really
did open my eyes when I was talking to
us because I just assumed it was a waste
of time it was just wasting space I’ve
got three kids and my son especially was
into gaming but it it was before we were
able to connect in that way and I think
your connection with people around the
world and then your understanding about
time zones that you get and the fact
that they’re giving you confidence and
support what a lot of parents and
teachers parents especially would be
worried about all the nightmare stories
I hear about people who aren’t who they
appear on the Internet’s in that way
what would you what would your advice be
I say make sure your child if they are
game with people they don’t know they’re
sure about who the person is and they go
and speak to you about it yeah yeah so
and what was the what was the phrase you
use for people who were who were
pretending they’re something they’re not
catfishing yeah catfishing catfishing is
what it’s called paranoid I was that you
taught me something yesterday all about
that sort of stuff so so it can be done
there were there were ways of keeping
safe but the connections that we get
from working that way fara and how old
were you when you started gaming almost
14 almost 14 who here has as have to be
careful are phrases who’s never been on
a games console who’s never done any
gaming people have a certain age pong that’s a game ok counts
