My reply (because I talk to myself) was that I would either be far more studious or I'd just replace them with a different time waster (TV, alcoholism, etc). Who can say? It is funny, video games are probably just as useful to the world as Shakespeare, but you'll never hear Jack Thompson raving about the dangerous violence in Titus Andronicus. The only difference of course is the medium of reading has other uses (i.e. learning anything) where the video game can only be used for entertainment. That and the Norton Shakespeare costs about 15 times less than a PS3!
