Video
games
can be absorbed by different perspectives as distinct ball
games
. Whilst some believe that these
games
help strengthen minds; others believe
they're
harmful.
Video
games
can be useful in numerous reasons. Kids are able to master the skill of multitasking and intellectual thinking by
playing
games
like those
car
racing ones where one needs to ensure good speed of the car and
also
overtake other cars.
Video
games
, through their illustration, root in
children
a seed of wide imagination that further
plays
a useful role in their skill-set for practical life.
These puzzles raise your thinking speed, and
enchance
your capability to overachieve in less duration. When
playing
these
games
, different senses are being used like sight, touch and
feel
which open up your mind! These
games
, obviously, are
also
a good time-pass, far better than age restricted movies and cartoons, causing
children
to feel
inferiority
complex.
However,
video
games
are
also
opposed by people. One reason for this could be the enormous harm these have on eye-sights. These plays are quite addictive and cause
children
to think about them even when they are not supposed
to
like when studying or working. Addiction of
any thing
is wrong and should be highly condemned and this appears to be one factor of the same. When hooked to these
games
, they
dont
feel like eating/talking and lose their sanity in the long run.
It is, therefore, recommended by
child
experts that
video
games
should rather be subtracted from the lives of
children
and adults since adults already got less time to spend with their families, so in their leisure time, all they do is
play
these
games
which
also
deeply plants in their nature, seeds of aggression.
In conclusion,
i
believe
video
games
in a limit are acceptable, however, one
shouldn't
consider those to be a significant part of their lives so much so that
it's
almost impossible for them to drop hold of it. Henceforth, in my opinion, the drawbacks of
video
games
are far more prominent than its benefits; and as a replacement, outdoor
games
should be considered.
