Computer games have become very firmly established in human life, taking their place of honor among most of the ways of recreation there. Virtual reality beckons us with its possibilities, and the computer games industry every year gives players around the world new games and sensations. But, at the same time, a lot of interesting things are said and written about the dangers of computers. Why are computer games dangerous and harmful?
The harm of games
The main danger of computer games is gambling addiction. This is the most real deviation of the psyche, which requires the intervention of doctors. A person who succumbs to addiction lives in virtual reality, only going offline for a short time. One of the most extreme degrees of addiction is loss of appetite. This is when a person does not want to leave games for the sake of eating. Also, the person has no sleep, so the person refuses sleep too. Usually, this addiction begins very safely and unnoticed, without arousing any suspicion. The harm from a computer is especially noticeable for teenagers. Their psyche lends itself to the influence of games, because children do not know the measure and do not feel the time. It always seems to them that they spent a couple of minutes at the computer.
How can games of different genres be dangerous?
Shooting games. They are the most dangerous, because the gambling addiction that they generate is accompanied exclusively by aggression and anger. And this is not surprising, because a person, shooting other people, will not always be a kind person from the heart. Walking, racing and flying are also harmful. Of course, they are not characterized by aggression, but they require attention, they are very addictive. It's really hard to tear yourself away from these games. Well, in the material and, of course, in the mental sense, online games are very dangerous.
Among other things, sitting at a computer can cause negative consequences: problems with weight, vision, musculoskeletal system, hands.
The benefits of games
Based on all of the above, one can begin to doubt - is there any benefit? Without a doubt, there is!
It is worth paying special attention to computer games that develop logic, thinking, intelligence, memory and other qualities. These are rebuses, logic games and puzzles. Of course, strategies take a special place among games. They don't require attention, tension, or speed. They are meant for a really long time. Such games can be interrupted at any time without risking being eaten or killed.
With the help of computer games, you can develop your knowledge in a particular area, develop hand motor skills or study numbers and letters. With the help of computer games, you can quite unobtrusively teach a child languages, develop his “lame” abilities or qualities. But it is not worth talking only about children, because there are benefits for an adult as well. For example, this is rest after a long day at work. A couple of hours after work is the very norm that must be observed in order not to become addicted.
