You would have heard that the PSP has roaring sales in Japan and is in the lead now with respect to DS lite. All these numbers are a standing testimony to the fact that the gaming industry is enjoying an almost unstoppable growth when it comes to profits. Going on the number of games released, and the kind of activity around these games and gaming devices the world over only justifies the mayhem.

But here’s the clincher, The Games that you play on your PSP can make you dumber. That’s right. We just called you DUMB.

Think about it – one of our previous posts on Wipeout: Pure series was an eye-opener for us (Now we aren’t giving up on the PSP or the Gaming) but we are trying to express a fact that we are turning out to be losers.

Now, that’s a rather bold statement to make, isn’t it?

We can try and explain – you see gaming is not reality. The more time we tend to spend there, the more we are living in the land of the impossible. We start thinking that we are in control and we lead everything (like we do in games). Are we implying that we start treating life as if it’s an RPG? You bet! We are forever in the fire-fighting mode battling off our troubles and dealing with people or trying to justify our actions to them – once you put that PSP down, the world cocks its head to a side and gives us a wicked sneer.

Actually, that’s why we are glad that Atlantic link has brought out that concept of e-learning on your PSP – now it is time to knock ourselves on our heads and try to re-focus or adapt to both our gaming and real lives. What do you say?

We have always been amazed at the extreme versatility of the PSP and even then, we are pleasantly surprised when things like this happen – There is now a plethora of learning tools available for use on your PSP. So not only do you just while away time and immerse yourself in the sinful pleasure of playing thrilling games on PSP, but you will also learn on the PSP.

How’s this for a hand-held (Hand-holding?) experience? Did you even think of the possibility of your PSP being a learning device? Actually, come to think of it – the PSP makes for an awesome learning device simply because it is almost like a computer. If computers can bring information and learning to your bedrooms. PSP can get it to you, anywhere.

Quoting from an excerpt on pspfanboy:

“Atlantic Link is now offering PSP owners the most valuable gift of all: the gift of learning. Their e-learning tools can now design courses for the PSP’s internet browser, which can be deployed from Memory Stick or online. The tools allow creators to adapt their programs to the small screen.”

Mike Alcock from Atlantic Link is perhaps a bit too enthusiastic about the possibilities of this service. In their press release, he notes: “The potential applications for this technology are huge and almost mind-boggling. Tourist guides, language training, product training and updates, maintenance guides and training, medical training, interactive museum guides, schools training, the list is almost endless.”

It is so heartening to note that a few companies do think of expanding learning solutions to hitherto unthought-of venues like a hand-held gaming device. Who would have thought that it would even be an option? That triggers another thought train in our heads, by the way. If e-learning can be enabled on gaming devices, can gaming be made possible on any of the learning vehicles we use? Wouldn’t that be learning while having fun — either ways, learning while having fun is almost a reality thanks to Atlantic link.
