The Impact of Video Games Towards Children

Dependence playing video games is bad

Video games have been available to consumers from a long time. They are a unique form of entertainment, because they encourage players to become a part of the game. Today's sophisticated video games require players to pay constant attention to the game, rather than passively watching a movie.

The positive impacts video games are said to have on children is that they could improve a player’s dexterity and computer literacy. The never ending improvement that technology provides is better graphics that give a more realistic virtual playing experience for the players.

Video games also encourage players to identify with and role plays their favorite characters. This is referred to as a first-person video game because players are able to make decisions affecting the actions of the character they are imitating.

This quality makes the video game industry a powerful force in many adolescent lives. However, many studies show that video games could make children more aggressive especially the violent ones. Another negative effect is that children could imitate what they see in video games in real life that could be very dangerous and harmful.

From all that, we can conclude that playing video games are good, but for children they need parental guidance so they will not do anything that is dangerous and maybe harm their self and anything around them. Lastly everything has its good and bad effects that can have high or low impacts towards anything.
