The Pros and Cons of Video/Computer Games

Pros:

Video games can be very beneficial because it gives the player the chance to view things from a different percpective, experience things that they can't in real life and just have fun. There are also many educational video games that help students in school so that they can receive better grades. Other games are just for entertainment. I personally think that games can make a player's brain function more actively and make them a bit smarter.

Cons:

Video games are basically just another drug, because they are addicting as drugs. It can be really hard to stop video games when you get out of hand. Video games are supposed to be for fun but when your entire world revolves around video games then there is a problem. A virtual life is never the same as the real thing and it is important that the player lives their life more in reality than in a virtual. Moreover it's not the most healthiest activity to do and horrible for your eyes. There is to be a limit for video games so it is important to know your limits.

  1. Know your limit! Good point. I once heard that you know something is an obsession when you spend more time then you intend to on something. For instance, you plan to play 30 mins and you end up spending 3 hours playing games!

    4/4
