Technology Pros and Cons of Video Games

What do people actually understand about video games?

Some people would say it's for entertainment, others would say it's to escape reality For us, it's just fun and entertaining to play We play quite a few games: Roblox, Minecraft, Trackmania, and Asphalt 9. Of course, there are millions, if not billions of games created by humans There are games with different genres, such as Indie, Racing, Sandbox, Strategy, Multiplayer, Puzzle, Adventure, Horror and PVP. Games also contain different graphics and visual effects such as realistic, cartoony, and animated.

Of course, like most parents or adults say: Too much gaming can be bad for your eyes and health. That is true for a lot of games, but there are also a ton of games where it's the exact opposite. To fix the eye problem, turning down the brightness or just not spending too much time on a screen is enough. For health, some people might get used to fighting and action games which can manipulate your mind into thinking about it more than usual. There also is a huge existing problem with social games. A lot of platforms have an insane amount of players which can lead to people being mean and sometimes even aggressive by making inappropriate comments.

However, there are also many advantages to gaming. Depending on the game you play, gaming can improve your hand-eye coordination. Playing multiplayer strategy games can make your communication with strangers better while learning how to express your ideas to fix a problem. One example of these games is League of Legends - which a lot of you might know. It's a game where you get connected with random people from the whole world and have to conquer other people's kingdoms. You do this by building up a strategy and attacking from different angles and other players try to defend their base. Although this might sound hard to believe, games like League of Legends can improve teamwork in real life. Some people just play these games for fun without realizing that they are improving their communication with other people.

In conclusion, playing video games has advantages and disadvantages There are many opinions on video games I like playing, but there are things that I suggest not doing, like playing some games, such as fighting games that are quite brutal Some of them are so violent in fact, they got banned in certain countries. I don't recommend these game at all and especially not for people who have sensitive senses

Now let’s move on to the question: How do video games help in real life? There are surprisingly many ways where video games bring advantages in real life. One of these being hand-eye coordination and reflexes Some games improve strategic strength which helps to process things faster and more accurately.
