Johnson's main point in "Why Games Are Good for You" is that "everything bad is good for you". Johnson thinks that todays popular culture is making us smarter. Most people would say that games are bad for you, but they significantly have their advantages. Although Johnson goes over the advantages he also discusses the disadvantages as well. Video games helps kids develop hand-eye coordination. In some cases video games can help kids learn faster than being in a classroom. Games cause them to pay more attention, and wanting more and to see what is coming next. Games can help influence you to make quick decisions, which can be beneficial. Now going over the disadvantages, some people think that games are a "waste of time". Video games are believed to cause aggression issues. Also they are known to be an "escape" from the real world, and can encourage them to preform acts seen in games. Although Johnson goes over the pros and cons of games he believes that games are very beneficial for us.
       An aspect of pop culture I would like to argue about is today's tablets and smartphones. I feel that there are many pros and cons of  these new devices. Some advantages of these devices is that we can understand technology easier and teach our children how to use them. They can make a simple day even more simpler. Errands can be done through your smart phone, like cashing a check. Or an outfit for a night out with your friends over you tablet. We can communicate face to face with people who are even across the country! The disadvantages though is that we cant seem to get our eyes off of our tablets and smartphones. Instead of interacting with each other in person were interacting with each other over our phones. I feel that smartphones and tablets are teaching our younger generation bad habits of being glued to a piece of technology. Instead of working on there homework the first thing they want to do when they get home is get on their tablet/smartphone. Smartphones and tablets is causing communication to deteriorate.
