how can gaming save the word

Currently we spend 3 BILLION HOURS a week playing videos games. I heard that, and said. "What?????"
But apparently, if we want to conquor these "real life" problems, like. Poverty, Obesity and hunger. We need to play 21 BILLION HOURS a week!
I can't even manage to play even a few hours a week... :(
It sounds impossible, but according to her research to can easially be achieved?
Why I asked, and you probably do to?
Well, In countries that have easy access to video games. The average 21 year old, has already played upto 10,000 hours of gameplay. That the same ammount of time spent from year 4 - graduation of year 13!!
what this is all getting to, is that, if we can spend this much time gaming, even with school going on at the same time.
she also stated what every gamer tries telling their parents. "I am learning from this!"
But its true! You do learn from playing video games!
Like, problem solving, gain faster reflexes, and learning important life skills. Basically, you can never not achieve something in video games. And i guess it teaches us that nothing is impossible, as long as you keep at it.
