Its video gaming

is bad?
Video games are frowned upon by
parents as time-wasters, and worse,
some education experts think that
these games corrupt the brain.
Playing violent video game are
easily blamed bt the media the
some experts as the reason why
some young people become violent
or commit extreme anti-social
behavior. But many scientists and
psychologists find that video games
can actually have many benifts.
The Main one is making kids smart.
“Video Games changes your
brain,” according to University of
Wisconsin psychologist C. Shawn
Green, Playing video game change
the brain’s physical structure the
same way as do learning to read,
playing the piano, or navigating
using a map. Much like exercise cn
build muscle, the powerful
combination of concentration and
rewarding surges of neurotrans-
Mitters like dopamine strengthen
neural circuits that can build the
brain. According to Marc Palaus
author of the study published in
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience,
there is broad consensus in the
scientific community that playing
video games not only changes how
the brain performs, but also its
structure. It can be good advice,
even if you were about to get to the
next level. Too much of anything is
just too much. Its true that some
studies have shown certain video
games can improve hand-eye
coordination, problem-solving
skills, and the mind’s ability to
process information. But too much
video game playing may cause
problems. Its hard to get enough
active play and exercise if youre
always inside playing video games.
And without enough exercise, kids
become overweight.
Overdoing video games also could
affect important stuff, like
friendships and how well a kid does
in school. And kids who play violent
video games might act more
aggressively.
