What are the positive and negative impacts of playing computer games and what can be done to minimize the bad effects?

(I analyze by category)

There is an increasing tendency that young people use computers to play games. While playing video games might be useful in some ways as a way to entertain after long and hard studying days, it also causes some negative impacts like health problems both in short term and long term.

In this essay, I will discuss the positive as well as the negative effects of playing video games and suggest some possible measures to keep the adverse impact at a minimum.

 

 

Firstly, video games are entertaining and easy to access, making them the most suitable way to relax at home. Teenagers nowadays are loaded with too much school work. They really need time for relaxing after a long day of studying. In addition, traveling to the park requires time and it is not always easy to do in our jam-packed city. With this in mind, people can say that playing computer games is somehow beneficial for the mental health of players. In addition, some games can also be a great way to exercise. I myself witnessed a game called "Dancing like a pro", which requires the player to dance while playing for 30 minutes. It is clearly a fun way of combining playing and doing the workout!

 

On the other hand, computer games definitely have some adverse impacts. One of these is causing adolescents not to have time for social networking. Most games are often personal. In this light, players definitely do not have time to talk and play with other friends, making them less mentally developed. Another important issue is that, playing games is addictive, and it is easy to make students spend most of their time playing instead of studying. To illustrate, a 10-year-old boy living next door to me is unable to speak and write l like his classmates due to too much playing video games.

 

So what we can do to minimize the adverse impacts? Parents can make a tight schedule for their children to balance time for playing and studying. Another solution is one must be picky when choosing gamelike to play. Explaining to children might help also. 

 

In conclusion, with the availability of video games on electronic devices, ones must approach wisely to choose the best game to develop both the mental and physical health of their children and try to reduce the negative impacts by organizing the time more appropriately as well as being more careful when selecting games to play.
