Is it good or not playing video games ? (Entry #2)

   

Hello Everyone !

 In this article, I want to talk about video games! We will explore a little of the advantages that we can get by practicing this hobby, but also the disadvantages that can come with playing video games.

When I was 7 years old, my father bought a computer, it was not the most powerful, but not the weakest either, what caught my attention the most about that computer was that it had 2 video games installed, Shrek 2 and Spider-Man 2.

Even right now I would like to play these games, I can't express in words, how many memories and how much happiness these games brought to my face at that time.

   Video games are known, as a very good option to relax and disconnect from the stress that we accumulate periodically, you can say that it is a form of therapy. Another type of video games are multiplayer games, which put you in situations to cooperate with your colleagues, which helps you to be more sociable, but also to practice your team skills. In addition, this also helps to improve existing relationships and can lead to new friends, but also beautiful memories. Many games require certain skills that you can develop along the way, such as strategic thinking, problem solving and creativity. 

In some cases, you are asked to pay attention to details, make quick decisions or adapt to unforeseen situations, which can give you many cognitive skills. Another essential reason I can give regarding this topic , is strategy games and puzzle games are a very good choice for brain training. 

Right below I will put 2 links with some browser games that you can play to develop your strategy or thinking skills.

Indeed, I agree that video games are fun, along with a certain list of benefits, but unfortunately, if we are not careful about the time spent in front of the screen, we can suffer from many cases. Let's be serious, when we like an activity, how many of us would not want that activity to end? Well in our case, like sitting too much at the computer, it can lead to sedentarism, and sedentarism is not exactly our friend. At the same time, we can even have cardiovascular problems, back pain but also spine, and let's not forget of course vision problems.

 

Another disadvantage that I would like to tell you is that Anxiety, depression, aggression and social isolation are not uncommon among those who play excessively. We end up feeling more comfortable in front of the screen than in the midst of people, and this can lead to serious problems in social life. Therefore, whatever we do in life, we must do with limits.

Do you know someone who plays video games, or that person it is actually you?
