Who said computer games can’t teach you anything? This video demonstrates that computer games are the doorway to advanced learning with young people. I think if you can keep it fun with a pinch of competition then you can teach people anything.
I would really like to apply something like this to learning language or anything really!
The Tetris Championship is also impressive but not directly linked. I think it would be cool if the education system could produce poeple that could all operate at this level.

In Dance Dance Revolution, a player must move his or her feet to a set pattern, stepping in time to the general rhythm or beat of a song
‘MTV’s Rock Band’ is another example.
