Gaming skills pay off

One of my webdesign heroes of all time, Jeffrey Veen - currently deploying his knowledge for Google - recently blogged about the text-adventure-games from 'back in the day'. While this was a welcom trip to memory lane (ah - thinking of my trusty C-64) - I was really digging one of his final thoughts:

Today, people still write and explore interactive fiction, though I pretty much gave it up when I hit high school. These days, I solve tricky problems by typing into an email client rather than a green-screen game. The skills, however, are pretty much the same...
On a more serious note: parents better not worry about their kids' gaming habits too much, perhaps one day these skills will be their advantage as well. ;-)
