Video games: Yes, absolutely. Advanced problem solving skills are cultivated even in very young children by the difficulty in most of the mission or quest-based games. To achieve the objective, children force themselves to learn multiple ways to accomplish a task, prioritizing of goals, and resource management.

Television: No. Mind-numbing picture box unless it's set specifically to educational programming (PBS, Sesame Street, etc).
