People love video games, and that's not always a foul thing. Whether played on a hand-held device, a computer, or a TV, the games may provide hours of quiet fun. The games may boost PC skills and better eye-hand coordination. One field of study demonstrated that surgeons who play video games perpetrate fewer surgical mistakes than do their non-game-playing counterparts.
Video games are emotionally "secure." When a person makes an error, no one else recognizes (contrary to the public abasement of, say, striking out in a real world ball game). And as each mistake made in a video game helps the player determine the particular action required to advance the next time, the player acquires the satisfaction of steadily bettering and finally winning.
Bad downsides…
But video games bear some adult downsides. Besides being really expensive, a lot of popular games involve graphic sex and violence. Maybe most distressful, they may be exceedingly addictive. Any person may become "addicted" to video games, and people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder appear to be at particular
risk.
