I think EQ like other things, occupies attention, and I think the older generation has a harder time focusing on multiple things at the same time. Instead of EQ, just plug in IMs, and you have the same issue. Let's face it, the next generation's brains are wired much differently than hours, and I can definitely see the younger generation getting bored with MMORPGs quicker than the older gamers.<BR/><BR/>How that has to do with blaming EQ is beyond me.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924922999762832408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241291.post-1128234790577506792005-10-01T23:33:00.000-07:002005-10-01T23:33:00.000-07:00I've played EQ before and probably will again. Wh...I've played EQ before and probably will again. When I study it has to be in silence. I get done faster that way. If the TV or radio is on my mind wonders too much and I can't focus on what I'm researching or studying. In my opinion, blaming a MMORPG on that is absurd. They get blamed for enough already.<BR/><BR/>~ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241291.post-1127325379160063082005-09-21T10:56:00.000-07:002005-09-21T10:56:00.000-07:00Hey, one good thought at a time is better than 10 ...Hey, one good thought at a time is better than 10 non-thoughts at a time :)<BR/><BR/>Definitely some of it is age-related - it takes me much (much) longer to study for a test nowadays.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924922999762832408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241291.post-1127321999943392782005-09-21T09:59:00.000-07:002005-09-21T09:59:00.000-07:00I think that is a very perceptive observation, and...I think that is a very perceptive observation, and you may be correct to a certain degree in saying that this generation is better able to handle multiple, simultaneous mental connections. It did occur to me though, that I have read that some people have always been able to study while listening to music, watching television, etc. In my own case, as a young adult I always had to have the TV or radio on while I studied. Studying in complete silence and with no distractions was way too boring. I used to also be able to read and watch TV at the same time. Now, however, I am less able to concentrate on more than one mental activity at a time, and this change has become evident since I quit online gaming. So, it makes me wonder if the change was caused simply by aging, or if online gaming somehow made me less able to handle multiple mental tasks at once? Food for thought anyway - just one thought at a time for me now (-;Portiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18042407858021872806noreply@blogger.com
