Diane Levin said “Pokémon Go is getting people outside but they’re still doing a very prescribed thing. They’re still being controlled by the screen. By some classic definitions, that isn’t play.” Older people use to make up games and this is good for development of the brain. Michael Rich, an associate professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, said “the kind of creativity developed through imaginative play is what eventually causes people to be able to respond proactively in the face of failure.” Because children today are more focused on video games they will not be able to develop this trait. One thing Michael Rich said about video games is that “They don’t prepare you for failure … They are designed to create a challenge you can ultimately succeed at so you can get to the next level and buy the next version.” Basically what he is saying is that one who is more likely to go outside and be creative and imaginative, is going to be able to face failure rather than the one who stays inside and watches television or plays video games. This person is also more likely to successfully overcome failure because with being creative and imaginative comes trial and error. This person is able to handle a situation in a reasonable manner. The person who stays inside to watch television or play video games is not prepared to face failure because in games or on television shows people also get another life if they die. These shows and games are not preparing one for reality because they can possibly start to believe their life is like a video game or show and they’ll get a second chance
