Advantage and Disadvantage of Video Games

Video games have been a part of children's life for the past few decades. It all started when Atari came up with its first gaming console, which included a very simple game of tennis. The controller had just one stick and one button to play with. Now, we have many different types of consoles available in the market with very complex games that requires controllers with two or more sticks and a variety of buttons. Video games are almost second nature to the modern children and they are more comfortable playing them. Playing video games can have many different effects (both positive as well as negative) on children. Some of these effects include increasing hand-eye coordination and increasing dexterity mental skills; a decreased interest in other activities such as studies and sports; and a very negative effect of inducing violence.



But, one of the biggest concerns of playing excess computer games is that a child does not go out and play. Playing outdoor sports not only increases fitness but also helps in better growth of children as they are able to adapt better socially. Some of these games are violent and that is in turn harmful for growing children as it can make them hostile.  


Kids can also learn from some video games especially if the game is from reality. Thay can learn life lesson and can apply it to real life. Some advantages are in the picture. 👆
