Video games is good
The future of entertainment
revolves around technology. Video games are widely known as an excellent source
of entertainment, are a ubiquitous part of today’s world. Playing video games is
being become the more preferred leisure activity for more people, including
youths and adults. 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.
First and foremost, One of the most
obvious health benefits of modern gaming is physical, thanks to the creation of
Wii and its exergaming offerings. The International Sports Sciences Association
confirmed that such games are effective at getting kids off the couch and
increasing their heart rates, a far cry from the stereotype that all gamers are
obese oafs. Seniors seeking gentler exercise can play Wii fit, for example, to
maintain their health, which is why many senior residences contain the gaming
system.
Besides, Children are more exposed to video games nowadays while
they are still in school. There are several schools that make use of the medium
of video games in order to help the children to have better knowledge and
understanding of the subjects that they are being taught. In fact, it is being
considered as one of the most popular methods of teaching nowadays simply
because there are a few games that help the children to improve their
creativity and imagination.
Video games can be used for the
specific purpose of advancing learning. A study conducted at the University of
Kansas found they can impart specific knowledge. Researchers administered tests
to three different groups, one of which prepared using a PowerPoint lecture and
two of which prepared using a video game. Of course, the latter two groups
demonstrated better knowledge retention. The advantage of using video games in
this case may have been the mere fact that it requires active engagement of the
mind, as opposed to almost thoughtlessly looking over slides.
On top of that,comforting people
with depression also one of the benefit we can obtain by playing the video
games. As with any mind-consuming activity that you thoroughly enjoy, gaming
can serve as some what of an antidepressant. In the case of Bejeweled, a puzzle
game in which players move gems into rows based on their colors, a study
indicated that participants experience improved mood and heart rhythm from a
session of play. Essentially, it helps people unwind and relax as if they're
working on a crossword puzzle — something that certainly isn't viewed as an
unhealthy activity.
In a nutshell, video games are
wonderful sources of entertainment that come in all kinds of forms. So,video
games can be played by any generation because they will get benefits from it.
So older generation shall act as role model to involve in playing video games so younger generation will become a successful person in the
future.
