I know what you're thinking:
DUH
But in the age where video game companies are touting the stress-relieving powers of playing a few hours of Tetris, this study by independent scientists have found that that just isn't so.
What they have found (and what we all know) is that the irritation and frustration factor in a puzzle game is more toxic to a person's sanity than Grand Theft Auto.
But what they fail to mention is the extrapolation that can be drawn from these findings. There's a common adage that we're all promoted to our level of incompetence. Whether because you can't keep up with the technology or because you can't deal with the BS, it's still incompetence.
And incompetence is the most frustrating, irritating experience a person can live through.
So, in a society where we aren't allowed to work in our "dream jobs" (just something to make the mortgage), are we intentionally setting up "postal" situations?
Really makes one wonder how society would be different if we got to be the astronauts and artists that we wanted to be as children.
