How Many Kids Play Video Games?

You may be asking yourself, how many kids play video games? Well, let me answer: all of them. Or more precisely, 97 percent of them according to a Pew Research survey.

My kids are too young to play video games, but I know there's a certain unease among my similarly situated friends about letting their kids play video games. I grew up in an era of Atari and Nintendo. My folks held out against both, but I just went to a friend's house for my gaming fix. Just like watching too much TV, video games are one of those battles some parents gear up to fight, but know instinctively they'll lose. But look on the bright side, those young gamers are in overwhelmingly good company.
