This would perhaps be a debate forever: the talk that supports the harmful effect and the one that advocates the positive impact of digital games on a person’s psychology and social behavior. But, even though the dark side of video games has come into the spotlight, we can’t help but notice the benefits of such addictions as well.
Such attempts to strengthen the cognitive abilities of a person.
Modern technology has allowed developers to create high-end games with better resolutions and smoother user interfaces, most of which are also dedicated to preaching violent content. However, contrary to the expected negative reaction, surprisingly improvements have been noted in the cognitive abilities of the players. A hardcore gamer can imagine an object in a three-dimensional spatial arrangement more vividly than a non-gamer. In addition, the former has better hand-eye coordination, memory, perception and sharper reasoning ability than the latter. It is interesting to note how a large number of people who excel in the fields of science, engineering, technology and mathematics are also huge fans of video games.
The enthusiasm seems to have doubled.
Conventional notions that have remained intact all these years suggest how such efforts make a person lazy, both physically and intellectually. It almost becomes a supposed antisocial element, less in favor of the general forms of society. But, contrary to this claim, research and scientific studies show that gamers are better problem solvers, strategy builders, and role players than most people. This is a potential plus for your professional life. Plus, speaking of creativity, it just gets better, gets better, with every such attempt.
And, most importantly, speaking of the antisocial behavior of the players, now it is just a myth. A recent study suggests that young people with attention deficit disorders have been permanently cured with a daily dose of such fun activities. Also, with social media becoming a craze, people are using the virtual world more to connect with other players. Such massive participation is proof enough that no player goes into social isolation today. In fact, he or she advocates for better civic engagement, is only doubly excited about the whole idea of ​​connection, and does so with all his or her heart and soul.
Players are more relaxed and stress-free than others.
Such an attempt is a great way to get rid of stress and tension. It is an excellent mood and anxiety controller. It also keeps you away from evil and harmful thoughts and is the harbinger of emotional stability. It is a way of learning how failures are the pillars of success. Therefore, earlier notions suggesting how such attempts lead to depression and the development of antagonistic and hostile natures may well be ignored.
Despite having a bad reputation, video games are a healthy and fun activity that can also act as an educational medium if followed correctly. Such an attempt is a good confidence booster and helps players learn how to face the challenges in their lives. In fact, it is an activity that is similar to any other day-to-day activity that occurs in people’s lives. Yes, it is as simple as eating a pizza. Only having a balanced perspective is important to see it as an advantage. But of course, too many pizzas can end up upsetting your stomach.
