Has held research Wednesday (2010) at the University of Southern California that discusses the influence of virtual worlds for children, the researchers admitted was negligent by ignoring the effect of various games for children. MacArthur Foundation (sponsor of the discussion panel) has spent not a little money to research in the future about the influence of virtual worlds for children.
Dough Thomas (professor from USC's Annenberg School of Communication), says that in fact, children have been introduced since early on that technology to teach them how to become good citizens and how to choose the skills they need to survive in the future. "As a parent, I would not worry about the little things in games like online predators or violence in it. But I would be more worried about how the consumption and consumption styles applied in a game. Because in this virtual world, children are taught that to become good citizens must have goods and the right accessories, all of which must also be purchased online, "continued Thomas.
Regarding the consumption on these games, I think it is an opportunity to teach them about money. My daughter plays ekidnaworld.com and sometimes I play it with her. Whenever she wants a new item, she saves up the in-game cash for it. Now she knows that her dad and I cannot buy the things she fancy the moment she wants them.
