This picture, taken from the New York Times Article "Shooting in the Dark" demonstrates the direct connection between violent video games and the brain.
I find this picture moving. I think that the effects of video games are so vast, and people who are using these violent video games will have lasting repercussions. The violent, realistic video games expose the young generations to such material that they cannot full grasp yet. Being a video game, there are no literal consequences for "taking out another soldier" or "blowing up a house. This creates a level of false security, because the children do not realize that there is real danger in situations such as these because they become virtually numb to them.
