No Video Games
One day, a 9 year old boy was forced by her mother, stop playing video games. They had called for a moment. Mom said that the computer absolutely no sense, and it’s all about senseless violence. Mom is afraid that her son’s life by the fact that the boy would spend the most screen time, no time to communicate with the outside world and something useful to be learned. The boy had closed his mouth and looks at his screen and wondered if her mother keeps talking.
The event described above occurs frequently in our family. Parents tend to limit their child’s season as much as possible. In their eyes, he is not aware of video games can, apart from violence, cruelty, sex, guns and learned all the bad things. But most helpless children against their parents. In most of the opportunity, children on one side in this fight to lose, they simply obey what mom and stop playing, even if in their heart the desire to continue to play is painfully high.
If we try to think outside the box – and maintains the myth that parents are always right side – we see that all complaints arched eyes and gratuitous violence, video games, a good thing that the family has built. In addition, the rapidly increasing popularity faster than any other form of entertainment. Who is right in this debate without end? Children or parents?
Steven Johnson, author of “Everything Bad Is Good for You said that what is important video games, the form and content could not. Parents often absent because his interaction with children in the digital world are aware of the world. You learn to explore the world and even more curious about it. Forget the fact that children can learn to drive carelessly, they actually learn on the economy of The Sims, learn about the strategy series of RTS, and learn teamwork and good coordination when playing Counter Strike multiplayer. In such a game like Flight Simulator or train, children will learn why the Boeing, Airbus, Fly or the use of traffic signals in real-time systems railways. In addition, research by scientists at Oxford University, argued that playing the video game “Tetris” after a shock symptoms reduction of post-traumatic stress disorder, although much remains to do this results in experimental science to translate potential treatment.
Currently, the overwhelming success of the Nintendo Wii has a new paradigm to play video games: Brain Training for the head, eyes or training for the eyes and physical training for the body. You can play golf like Tiger Woods, tennis with Roger Federer to play in your own living room, learning to stop smoking to stop by the following method of Allen Carr. Occur with the help of traditional games are now much more socially, not only for online play, but dance now friends gather in the living room karaoke, quiz, rock or pretend play.
Unfortunately, history has not ended. The games are still a number of drawbacks and costs were the people physically. The joints stiff and gnarled fingers, which are manufactured for a long session with a joypad, or muscle strains that afflict enthusiastic users of the Wii as part of compensation following the spiritual benefits generated by video games. For this reason, an independent body and the time during the game is very necessary. It is important to relax during the Games, because most people tend to get carried away in games. You get frustrated and lose too addicted to winning. Remember, games are only tools for entertainment, they have nothing to do with your pride and your true life. Become a smart actor is really an option.
In a near future where the world increases the uncertainty and the economic recession continues, people will be sharper than ever to escape into another world-like game. There is nothing wrong with that, but again, is a self-regulation is necessary, that we only think about his players an addictive game, instead of his real life. As time passes, no satisfactory response is not sufficient to answer our question from the beginning. Who is right? Children or parents? The simplest is to use to meet: Both sides are right and both claims were for each verification.
