Computer Games: Good or Bad?

Playing computer games is a waste of time and should not be allowed. Do you agree or disagree?

Well, computer games are not necessarily a waste of time. If you are playing dota instead of working on your research paper, then you are wasting your time doing something that you are not supposed to be doing. However, I believe computer games are educative and informative. "Oh, but there's blood and violence when you play video games." Okay, you are right, but there are some computer games that educate you about the types of guns to use at the right time and strategies to play to defeat your opponent. I've also noticed that computer games give you the sense of escape from your problems. (Am I right or just blabbering nonsense, guys?) Playing makes you concentrate on the game and relieve you of your stress by focusing on something else. Your decision making skills are improved, says one site about video games. Computer games are global also. You can converse with other players around the world and share your experience and play along with them. You can make friends with a player in the UK or in Japan. Isn't that cool??? Computer games are not only educative and emotionally relieving but social and interactive with personalities around the world.

I have nothing against computer games. My brother and his wife and my boyfriend are avid computer video gamers. They encourage playing too! Just recently, my brother and his wife invited me, my sister, and cousin to a game night/sleepover. We had homemade burritos for dinner and ate chips by the jumbo bag while we played multiplayer games on the Wii and PS3. The living room table was littered with juice boxes and varieties of chips and brownie crumbs. If encouraged, video games can be a family activity. Depending on the game, of course. You don’t want to play LoL with your mom. (Or do you?) My boyfriend is very considerate about his computer game hours also, so I’m blessed (<3). He must really like me if he replies to my KIK messages less than 30 seconds after it is sent while he is playing grand theft auto. He plays when he’s bored and pauses when I talk. (Isn’t that even nicer!?)

Computer games shouldn’t be banned. There are multiple benefits to video games! (click this ) Now I’m not saying there aren’t bad things about video games. There are some games that are violent and too mature for some gamers. Also, too much of anything is bad for you. So take a break from your COD and get a drink or use the restroom or walk for a couple minutes. Your performance could possibly improve after refreshing yourself! If you are an elder or are too stubborn to realize that there can be psychological benefits to video games, then you need to do your research and accept the fact that technology is gradually taking over every nation’s culture. There are too many people who enjoy video games, so not allowing video games could affect a majority of people around the world who use video games as habitual stress reliever.
