Nowadays many people have access to computers on a wide basis and a large number of children play computer games.
What are the positive and negative impacts of playing computer games and what can be done to minimize the bad effects?
Recently, computers and video games has became popular among children. With development of new technologies, different types of instruments have been invented for video games e.g play stations, x-box, handy iPads and even games on mobiles. It has merits and demerits, although there are convincing arguments on both sides that children should be allowed to play video games or not.
One argument put forward in favour of that students should be allowed to spend time at home playing video games on laptops and play stations because these games, puzzles and vocabulary solving quizzes helps them in mental development. In addition, solving problems, finding solution to many types of games make them smart. Moreover, spending time at home with these kinds of activities prevents them to stay outside home and indulge in bad companies and habits such as cigarette smoking thus reduce youth crime. Countries, such as Canada, where winters are harsh with no outdoor activities, these instruments are source of joy for out new generation.
I strongly believe that kids should not be allowed to play games in front of such screens for most of the time during day as it is not good for health. It is a leading cause of eye sight weakness among this age group. In addition, giving maximum time to computers and iPads decrease their interest and concentration towards studies, thus results in poor academic performance. Moreover, this development has decreased their outdoor activities like playing in parks, further contributed to sedentary lifestyle. Consequently, staying home for most of the time playing videos reduce their social interaction, resulting in underdevelopment of their communication skills. Many believes that watching and playing fighting games that is related to criminal acts is also a cause of swelling of youth crime. Overall, wide usage of computers have bad impact on our society and community.
In conclusion, i am in opinion that students should only be allowed for few hours or fews days in a week to play such games by their parents. Fighting and criminal related games should be removed from market by government. Alternative outdoor activities should be offered to reduce overall interest of video gaming. Good academic performance and better future should be their first priority.
