Man this article screams "kids today blah blah blah" and is totally ill founded. I was born in 1993 and grew up with video games and now I'm a scientist (anecdotal I know, but this article isn't scientific either). Being a scientist is about asking questions that intrigue you and finding the answer to them. People who want to do this will do this regardless of whether or not they play video games (or do any other leisurely activity like Netflix bingeing).

Things are different from they were when I grew up, therefore things are bad!
21, 22 year old scientist?
Yep, 22!
happy to hear that, it proves my hunch on the matter

Isn't it what we called "basic arithmetics" back in the day? :).
