In today’s hustle and bustle many kids, teens, young adults
and even older adults try to escape the real world by going into a virtual one
called video games. According to report, on a
typical day at least 40 percent among them play a video games. It shown that
playing video games gradually becomes a daily activities for the new
generation. However, someone view that video games are meaningless times
wasters that encourage anti-social behaviour, have negative impact of the
health of children, and because they are filled with violent content, but i
does not agree with this statement.
In my opinion video games are a good pastime which has the
potential to be very beneficial to us. There are many different type of games, there
are racing, sports, role playing, strategy, fighting, and adventure but mainly
I'm going to focus on shooting type games, such as Call of duty, Counter
Strike. It train player sight skill, researcher found that regular player for
shooting games have much better visual skill than other. They good at spotting
details in busy, confusing scenes and could cope with more distractions than
average.
Besides that, video games actually are a real brain workout
that invokes abstract and high level thinking. These skill are usually cannot
learn in school, but they are widespread in most video games. For example,
quick thinking, making fast analysis and decision and hypothesis testing. Playing
a video game is same to solving a science problem. Let me give you an example,
gamers must try out combination of weapons to use to defeat an enemy. If one
does not work then try the next one.
Moreover, video games act as channel to release anger on. The
video game player can vent their anger on a video game. It decrease the violent
a person might express after playing video game and this could lead to a
decrease of crime. It is a good alternative to relief stress besides sports.
Players also can cast away fears, and get freedom though the video games that
they can't get it at the real life.
As can be seen, I strongly agree with video games makes
benefits to us, although video game may not fully benefit us but I believe that
if we can use it wisely, I'm sure that we can minimize the negative impact and
magnify the advantages.
