Is the game over?
Nowadays a mind-blowing number of computer games are available on the market. They have turned into a popular leisure time activity
especially among the young people. This fact makes some of us wonder whether computer
games are a loss of time and money and what we can do about it.
The way I see it, playing
computer games is not necessarily a waste of time as long as they bring the share of excitement that other activities can’t provide. Even if you
spend a lot of money on a great book or a passionate film, you will never get
your fill of thrill as when you play computer games.
When playing computer games you are the real actor,
you can decide to do what you want and this fills you with deep emotions. In
addtion studies have discovered that playing video games helps certain mental abilities such as developing assertiveness and
agility, logic and intuition and you are
more quick-thinking at solving problems .
I don’t agree when people claim that playing
computer games can have some reverse effects such as addiction or that they divert you from the real life and make you
an antisocial person. You are not
socially isolated since you can meet
great people and speak to them while you play network games.
I enjoy playing video games and I don't believe they are a waste of time. On the contrary they help us relax and develop some abilities. Having said this, in the case of children, it is always wise for parents to set
a gaming time and encourage their kids to read, do some sport and outdoor activities.
