Living Longer Through Video Games

Better Living Through Video Games?

Personally, as a hardcore gamer, video games both have a positive, and a detrimental effect. Video games not only improve reflexes, teach people how to multitask, and how to work together and communicate as a team. However, video games also teach young people to be anti-social, detached from reality, and also induce stress. Often, video games will require the same amount of coordination and teamwork as a sports team. Specifically, gamers will often have to micromanage several things at once, all of which are critical to success. Often, games will juggle the movement of my team, the movement of the enemy, my movement, and other things such as ammo and health. This could possibly parallel school where students must juggle classes, homework, and extra curricular activities, as well as the workplace. Personally, I don't really care, I just want to get out their and play!
