This age of electronic devises is a miracle.
Children born after nineteen ninety are known as born digital, they have devices available to them as infants and by the time they are three, are more computer savvy than most of the elderly.
Almost everything around them has some connection to the web, electronics or the internet.
I think it is becoming harder to satisfy their hunger for this medium.  Creating video games is a multi million dollar business.
Users conquer one game and move on to the next.

How will this effect them in their future life? Will it make them lazy, and non contributing to society?
There are those who say they are wasting their time while others say it is beneficial.
There are all kind of games, race games, puzzle games, war games and educational games to name a few.
Enter the picture,

a public charter school called Quest to learn, that claims to be the first school set up like a video game  all  the activities they do are just like quests that they complete to level up much like the game World of Warcraft,

which I love by the way. I have played off and on for over eight years, anyway back to the school, I think this would be the coolest school to go to if I were young. It support's learning and getting a solid foundation  as opposed to just regurgitating what a teacher wants to hear, and the child moving from one grade to the next even though they don't have the knowledge to progress. They will eventually hit a brick wall, become discouraged and quit because the don't have all of the tools to complete the task at hand. https://www.ted.com/talks/sal_khan_let_s_teach_for_mastery_not_test_scores?language=en

Having a school like this would give the child all of the tools to accomplish the desired task.

So when will they become the new standard and cover the nation? Soon I hope.
