Evolution is a process that takes many thousands of years. We, animals as well as plants, adapt slowly to the ever changing environment we live in, to fit better and maximising chances for survival. In this process, some parts of our physiology become unwanted, others need extra attention to development. In these days, I think the brain needs more excitement and stimulation in order to evolve in a brain that will be able to survive and find it's way in the society that is to come – one where technology dominates all life.
Nintendo is probably way ahead of it's competitors with their range of 'brain age' software packages for it's game computers. I believed that the brain program for nintendo DS was a hype and would eventually disappear, but now that the package has also been released for the Wii, I know this is a winner. Maybe nintendo doesn't even know it yet, but this could potentially have a big influence on nintendo itself, but also on our society as we know it. We better all hurry to the store and get one.
