Ideas in Action with Jim Glassman show

Summary: The video game business has grown into a 50 billion dollar industry world-wide. Video games are now being used to teach soldiers how to fight, surgeons how to operate, and children how to read. Colleges and universities have responded to the demand by offering classes, and even graduate-level degrees in video game development. Dr. Peter Raad founded a master’s degree program for video games at Southern Methodist University. He and Jim discuss the positive and negative effects the spread of video games will have in our lives.
