While I do like movies, I find myself playing more games than movies. This is due to most of the movies coming out not being to my personal taste; whereas I can always find a game that is just right. It helps that games are interactive and not just static experiences, like films.
I'm sure people will see this and think things like "Oh well, of course they would have you seen the quality of movies lately?" or "Well Gen Z tend to be more social than previous generations so that probably is a factor".
While true, I wonder how much of it is due to engagement? Gen Z is the first generation who grew up primarily on technology. We've all seen parents who just give their kids their phones or tablets and let them sit there quietly for hours. It tends to lead to hyperactive minds and movies wouldn't satisfy that kind of person (usually). Games definitely would though.
It tends to lead to hyperactive minds...
Citation need, I think.
This isn't an uncommon or unheard of fact....Googling it will produce a lot of results and studies surrounding it..
For instance, it has been found that using computers excessively can lead to impulsivity, hyperactivity, disorganization, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating and completing tasks - all signs of ADHD.
