Johns Hopkins took a sample of over ten million teenagers who play the popular waste of time, Fortnite, and tracked their improvement over an eight-month time period. \u201cWhat we found is that most kids did got better after playing an average of four hours per day, which was expected,\u201d said Dr. Bryan Farrell, lead researcher on the study. \u201cThen, we spliced that down by age, number of hours played, and even ZIP codes. We weren\u2019t sure what we were trying to learn necessarily, but kids waste so much time playing it, we figured we had to do some sort of study on it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not surprising to Stapleton parents, the 80238 ZIP fared very well when it came to improvement in the game, with 80238 being one of the top five best ZIP codes in the country when it came to marked improvement. \u201cWell, I guess all that time is paying off,\u201d said local parent Ashley Mason. \u201cI would rather have them good at something valuable, but at least it\u2019s nice to hear they are doing well at it.\u201d Luke Travillian agrees. \u201cI\u2019m always frustrated when they want to play that game, but to be one of the top five best in the country, that\u2019s pretty cool,\u201d said Travillian. Many parents weren\u2019t happy with the results of the study. \u201cIt\u2019s really embarrassing,\u201d said Ryan Carney. \u201cWho wants our kids to be good at a fucking video game? We shouldn\u2019t be encouraging this.\u201d Kristen Weber was also discouraged by the results of the study. \u201cIt just shows how spoiled kids in Stapleton are,\u201d said Weber. \u201cThey have access to this game and we are letting them play it too much. I would like to see our kids improve scholastically or athletically at the same rate. Now that would be something to brag about.\u201d Dr. Farrell suggests parents just be patient, as the Fortnite fad will pass. \u201cThe good news is that kids will eventually want to stop playing Fortnite,\u201d said Farrell. \u201cThe bad news is it will simply be because they want to start playing another video game.\u201d Parents, looks like its time to just burn all those video game consoles.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7413","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-160","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7413"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7413\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7790,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7413\/revisions\/7790"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
