Impact of Video Games on Children
The Impact of Video Games on Children
Video games have been available to consumers for the last 30 years. They are a unique form of entertainment, because they encourage players to become a part of the game's script. Today's sophisticated video games require players to pay constant attention to the game, rather than passively watching a movie. This has both positive and negative impacts on players. Several studies have been published that explore these impacts on today's children. Most people this day and age grow up with technology. But now days what people see in the media about children being obese or not social. The media and physical fitness experts always express, the youth this day never go out and play and get about sixty minutes of play a day. This means exercise. I for one think video games isn’t the problem. With children being overweight, video games aren’t always filled with violet’s, there are games that teach you to work as a team with someone you’ve never meet. Even learning sportsmanship which I believe should be learned at a young age. Because facing the realities that you can’t always win there are going to be some people that are better and that you should encourage yourself to become better not just at video games life in general. Within the media they say kids need to go out and play. I think that’s true so what they need to do now a days with games is make it so kids get tired of the games after a while. That way they should try to lean toward making children wanting to go outside. When I was growing up in the 1980s video games where just starting to catch on. All the kids had to have the latest games or “Gameboys” ext. I remember we would try to find ways to make our parents let use stay inside and play. I believe it hindered me once I got older and wanted to play sports. I was so out of shape then it all came back to me I was hardly active when I was younger. Right now Approximately 17% (or 12.5 million) of children
