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.t50mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533663241668124931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640976037544204748.post-13096071205308784342018-07-17T00:42:51.951-06:002018-07-17T00:42:51.951-06:00In my opinion, the merit of play videogames is the...In 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).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640976037544204748.post-41114343177985109642010-12-09T17:02:31.486-07:002010-12-09T17:02:31.486-07:00My experience with video games was a very bad one ...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.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640976037544204748.post-25477116119422842232010-06-14T05:22:10.993-06:002010-06-14T05:22:10.993-06:00It depends on their contents of those games.

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.<br /><br />Star from TaiwanStarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640976037544204748.post-55794994205762053092010-02-25T20:59:03.420-07:002010-02-25T20:59:03.420-07:00videogames are helpful for alot of reasons.Firstly...videogames 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.<br />I can't imagine why video games might be harmful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640976037544204748.post-34981632837321480702010-02-25T20:55:21.083-07:002010-02-25T20:55:21.083-07:00Video games can be either, harmful or helpful but ...Video 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.Mujeebnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640976037544204748.post-46389200618318585162010-02-25T00:37:53.401-07:002010-02-25T00:37:53.401-07:00Many children enjoy video games, and they are add...Many children enjoy video games, and they are addicted to them.
