I have always heard rumors that video gaming helps reaction time and improves vision. I found here in this article that they have researched and people that game regularly have an average of 43% larger grayscale that they can see. Although there is much argument of too much time spent playing video games, I do think it can be beneficial for vision and increased motor function.

Video Gaming and Visual Improvement
When reading the article about education coming from social networking here for class, it made me think about the visual stimulation that comes from video game interaction. Many of the online game playing is in a way like social networking. It gives people another opportunity to learn from each other and interact. In addition it gives the opportunity to collaborate with one another.

You make an interesting argument. I agree that video games could increase motor function, but hasn't it been studied that too much time looking at a screen is actually harmful to your vision? Apparently research says that looking at screen for a long time will not have long term effects on vision, but staring at a screen for long periods of time can cause eyestrain.
