For decades, a stereotype has lingered around video game players: that spending hours a day in front of a screen turns their brains to mush.

Think: problem-solving or analytical reasoning skills. They can take apart and reconfigure a computer monitor, use scripting languages to customize games and optimize their home network devices to deal with high data loads.
