Benefits of video games

The future of entertainment revolves around technology. For most young people, playing games on a computer or video game is regular part of the life. Video games are one of the good sources of entertainment. In the modern century, the term “video games” actually includes video games, computer games and hand-held electronic games. What are you think about playing video games? In my opinion, we will obtain many advantages by playing video games.

Video games make learning fun. Kids like games because of the colors, the animation, the eye candy, as well as the interactivity and the challenge and the rewards of winning.  The best way to learn is when the learner is having fun at the same time.  That’s why video games are natural teachers.  Having fun gives motivation to the kid to keep on practicing, which is the only way to learn skills.  

Moreover, video games introduce kids to computer technology and the online world.  We should recognize that we are now living in a high-tech, sophisticated world.  Video games make kids adapt and be comfortable with the concepts of computing.  This is particularly important for girls who typically are not as interested in high technology as much as boys. 

            

Besides that, video games also increase kid’s self-confidence and self-esteem as he masters games.   In many games, the levels of difficulty are adjustable.  As a beginner, kids begins at the easy level and by constant practicing and slowly building skills; he becomes confident in handling more difficult challenges.  Since the cost of failure is lower, he does not fear making mistakes.  He takes more risks and explores more.  Your kid can transfer this attitude to real life.

Violent video games may act as a release of pent-up aggression and frustration of kids.  When a kid vents his frustration and anger in his game, this diffuses his stress. Games can provide a positive aggression outlet the same way as football and other violent sports.   

 Last but not least ,I would like to repeat my stand that is playing video games brings many benefits to human beings besides it’s disadvantages and it’s depend on how you use it in the correct way!
