Is it good or bad to play computer games?
February 17, 2010 - 12:30 PM

Parents worried about their children spending hours on their play station,Computer,etc.... may have it all wrong - it could actually be time well spent.Researches at Manchester university found that gamer who play up to eighteen hours a week seem able to focus on what they are doing better than other people,have better co-ordination;and,far from being anti-social,'computer nerds' find it easier to form friendship than children who prefer activities such as reading or watching TV.But scientists in Japan have found gaming develops only vision and movement,but not the parts of the brain associated with learning, emotions or behavior.This might be a problem in our increasingly violent society.

Playing computer games are really good and fun...It is for our entertainment also its good for the sensitivity in our hand...

But addicting to it is really bad.....

I don't think you can say it's good or bad.
It can be both, or neither.

People who can't limit themselves and play for 10 hours a day, its obviously not a good thing, but those who play in moderation it can be a beneficial activity, socially or otherwise.

I don't really there is a significant benefit to playing computer games. Sure it increases your fine motor skills a bit, but what use will that be? However I, for one, must say that computer games are really really fun :P

It's fun and addicting, but it's also bad. I was told it can also "ruin" your mind, and by that I think they mean if you play too much violent videogames, you'd probably do something bad.
