Learning how to balance playing video games with other activities is the hardest thing to do once children ( and adults too!!) get addicted to it. Firstly, I don't think it's healthy to spend too much time playing video games by oneself - it should be a social event/activity instead. I think one should learn how to set a time during the day when s/he could spend a couple of hours playing video games. Finally, there are great many benefits from playing games. Children learn how to think fast, multi-task, and if they love playing RPGs, I'm sure they'll develop their reading skills and improve their vocabulary.
ReplyDeleteMore and more the young and old are attracted by video games. It's the best awful thing to wallow in playing video games, wastes time and energy. So we have to think how to limit time and choice the benefits video games. Let's enjoy relax time of playing video games by the style of health. I agree Randall's opinion in his video. I think the example,video of Randall is short and we benefit from this video.
ReplyDeleteI think that the Video games are kind a help full because not everytime always somethings fun in TV. But too much Video Games are defenetly not good for you, not good for your eyes your brain and you kind of get adicted to it with is not a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI agreed with Randall. Play video game is good but need to limit to certain time. It's not good to play game all the time.
ReplyDeleteIt's very good to play video game. It's necessary to have time limit. Two hours for day, it's fine.
ReplyDeleteHello my name is Joel and I have a video game, my mother only allows me to play one hour and a half,
ReplyDeletebut I think that some games are fine but others not.
honestly I do not like video games because they are very aggressive, some children spend hours playing video games and such behavior can be altered, I think you should once in a while one hours a week would not be bad depending on the game but seriously much better if the children do any kind of sport that will help your physical health and to clear his mind instead of spoiling it with these games

I think is good to have video games in my personal opinion I enjoy a lot playing but no like 5 ours maybe 1 hour because we have other things to do like study and all this things but I enjoy a lot to play with video games.
ReplyDeleteI really agree with the man. Becouse children do not have only the choice to play videogames. So there are many options like soccer basketball or any stuff that the kid want or choice. So try to prove something new is a good way to get distraction or fun, so i really agree with the man.
ReplyDeleteEverything has its merits and demerits. It depends on you control it or let it control yourself. In my opinion, playing video games help people, especially children improve their thinking and acting speed. Some video games tend to help improve intelligence. The harm also depends on what game you play and whether you are addicted or not. Nowadays, games online has launched and most of them remain violence and sex. If you have children, you should avoid them to these games. In my country, there is a true story in which a boys killed his cousin to steal money for playing games online. I think either his parents or society is responsible for his evil. So management games online is still an issue causing headache for the government. In my opinion, education is the basic solution. We should educate kids to know that they have to be responsible for their action. "Prevent better than cure". Don't distract the problem and regret at the end.
ReplyDeleteTalking about the video games,Ithink video games are both helpful and harmful for children.Helpful in a sense that is improves reflexes of a child but the harmful part is that it is addictive.
ReplyDeleteAnd because of the hype of the new gaming consoles video games have become more prominent.
Anything in moderation is healthy. Playing Video/Download Games are worldwide, we can't deny that fact. By choosing what kind of video games students must play, through this, they will learn a lot. Games are now being incorporated in students' lesson. Time management is needed to schedule everything.

ReplyDeleteunVideo games is enjoyable for kids and adults, but nobody spend a lot of time in these game because it can be harmful especially for kids.This state can kill their creative skills.
ReplyDeleteMany children enjoy video games, and they are addicted to them. They spend very time on game. Game affects their behavior
ReplyDeleteVideo games can be either, harmful or helpful but this mainly depends on the gamer. If the gamer likes to play violent games, then this may have a negative impact on his attitude towards others in the real life. On the otherhand, if he/she plays educational games this will help him/her to improve their utilization of their brain. But time-management is neccessary too so that the gamer doesnt lag behind in social activities.
ReplyDeletevideogames are helpful for alot of reasons.Firstly,they can help overcome boredom;young children will not nag to their parnents about taking him here and there.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine why video games might be harmful.
It depends on their contents of those games. If the game is about killing, violence, gambling, or pron, it's definitely not good for children or even for adults. Living in an unrealistic world would make people dull, and our mental health will be affected. Moreover, peopele tend to imitate what they have seen or heard. For example, in Taiwan, some teenagers killed people just for fun after they read violent comic books. Children should spend more time on reading or going outdoors to enjoy nature. There are a lot of other options for them to do during their free time. So even those unharmful video games, people shouldn't spend too much time on them. A little time on games might be alright, because people need relaxation. However, don't make it into a habit. After all, playing games cannot make you get wisdom. As human beings, we need to lead a more meaningful life.

My experience with video games was a very bad one when I was a boy. I used to play so much that I was too bad a pupil. It took me some time to bridge the gap between me and my education. It makes me really feel bad to speak about it. I sold the handheld consoles (Game Boy) and TV consoles (Super Nintendo) that I had and vowed not to buy and play video games anymore. I found relief in books, which developed my intellectual capabilities; and eventually graduated at post-graduate level at university. So there is one thing I am sure of -- never in my life will I play again or buy again video games.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the merit of play videogames is the rise of your solve problems capability.But, you will have problems envolving your health if you play a lot of hours of videogame, so you have to make a balance between your social life, work and the things that you like to do(in this case, play videogames).
ReplyDeleteVideo games can be useful in my opinion, as it helps people to relax and enjoy a long and tiring day at work or maybe making friends. The bad part about it is that it could damage your eyes,your life and even your future as these activities takes too much time,you won't have a chance again to enjoy your social life.
