@avantgame I've seen a stat in your talks about young people spending on average 10k hours gaming b4 age 21. Where is that from?

@avantgame The CMU article you cite cited an interview with Prensky. The link was dead, but he's mentioned it a few other times.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@avantgame Its' a shame. I wish I could be confident in the stat. It's pretty striking. :) -
@bmaher to get to 10,000 hrs by 21 assume 17 years of play at 11 hrs/week which is actually less than average reported in many studies -
@bmaher or, girls under 18 average is 8 hrs/week and boys under 18 average is 13 hrs/week so I consider 10k hrs by 21 reasonable ballpark -
@avantgame yeah. I think it's probably close to the right 10^x. But kept bumping into Nielsen numbers that seemed quite low (6.3 hrs)
