Economist Tom Standage wants everyone over the age of 45 to play a video game to overcome their neophobia. He says contrary to what neophobes like to believe games are neither violent or scary and that, on the contrary, they help players juggle several tasks, evaluate risks and make quick decisions, an ideal preparation for the workplace of the 21st century.
