Positive effects of video games
There are in
fact several benefits of playing video games for both children as well as adolescents. Educational games during early childhood help the kids learn
technology, and this is very important in a world which is increasingly
technology dependent. Additionally, video games makes the learning
process fun filled with the lights, colors, and
interaction which helps the
concept get imprinted in the child’s
mind. Gamification is even
becoming popular in
adult learning as well. Video games can even be a
bonding activity between parent and child, or between friends. Video games also help children learn how to follow instructions
thus inculcating
discipline. One other
reward that has been seen from playing video games is the
improvement in decision-making
speed. Video games also
improve the hand-eye
coordination, fine
motor skills, and
spatial reasoning. The player also learns
strategy and
management of resources along with how to judge situations.
Thus, the arguments are endless both for and against video games. The best way to
conclude would be the
wise use of video games for learning and fun while limiting the time used for it and also, in choosing the games wisely.
