So here's an article about how playing the Wii actually helps surgeons perform better. Specifically, games like Marble Mania, which apparently is all about precise controller movement. [Sidebar: I think I might have to look into getting that game - it's mazes with marbles!] The researchers are planning on developing a surgical training tool for the Wii, which could be used in developing countries to train surgeons.
Anyone who has played Wii knows how cool it is, and now it's socially-minded, too!

Neat! I suggested to a professor at work that he save on his country club golfing fees by making a one-time investment in a Wii and golfing from the living room. He's not convinced. Apparently he likes the grass and wind and golf cart and stuff.
Wii is amazing.
