Video games harmful or beneficial?
Hello and good evening
My name is Muliani binti Thamrin
today i am here to give a little bit of sharing related to video games.
when the word video game is mentioned
of course in our minds we think that this video game is a useless thing, detrimental to ourselves and something immature.
for us video games are just games that can only be played by kids.
but do we know that video games actually have more benefits
for ourselves than their disadvantages
What are the benefits of video games?
one of its benefits is that video games can
Improved Brain Function
why do I say that because
Video games have been shown to help us improve our ability to reason and solve problems. They help us make split-second decisions, process information more quickly, and multitask effectively. Games can also improve hand-eye coordination and boost auditory perception. video games were only thought to be played by people with no social life whatsoever. However, a number of studies showed that video games actually have a positive impact on visuomotor control.
The University of Toronto found our from a study that people
who play regularly video games perform better in the sensorimotor tasks. Especially people who play first-person shooters like "Call of Duty", or "Assassin's Creed". The study also suggested that playing those kinds of video games might become a treatment for people who suffer from hand-eye coordination or sensorimotor skills in general.
this proves that video games actually benefit our brains.
In fact, games are wired to produce a particular kind of
reaction in people. So we've got this learning brain increase, multitasking brain increase connection, and we also have a strong dopamine loop in the brain. As games present a challenge, and you struggle to achieve that challenge and you overcome it, dopamine is released in your brain. And that produces an intrinsic reinforcement. In the words of Judy, that produces an intrinsic reinforcement that causes you to go back and keep seeking that activity over and over again. So this is really powerful stuff.
Video games providing us to have fun. When we are very
bored tired or stressed, Computer games are good source of enjoyment. Moreover, we have fun playing computer games because they give us time to be with our friends. It is a great opportunity to socialize. We can talk with our friends about other things at the same time. This COVID-19 pandemic, many are choosing to be at home. For gamers, of course they take advantage of this time by playing games such as Among Us, Genshin Impact, games on PC, consoles and so on. playing video games is adding new contacts. they can also be good and close friends for us. The proof is, games like Ragnarok Mobile primarily emphasize players who need to be active in groups. They not only share information on Whatsapp or Discord but also make gatherings to strengthen friendships.
Video games can reduce emotional stress
Although video game addiction is classified as a mental
illness, playing video games can actually serve as a much more effective stress reliever than regular counseling sessions. I also suffer from mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety for me by playing video games it can treat the stress I experience.
for your information
In 2012, researchers in New Zealand conducted a study
involving 168 teenagers about 15 years old, half of whom were isolated to receive counseling sessions while the other half played SPARX fantasy games that allowed them to design their own avatars to "produce negative thoughts".
Each level in the game teaches players basic facts about
depression, strategies for dealing with stress and techniques for finding solace.
this proves that video games can treat our emotional stress
besides, just playing video games can generate our income as
well.
how did that happen
you can do live streaming either on facebook or any social
media platform. for example I am also one of the individuals who do video game streaming. because I can make some extra money just by playing video games. when i do live streaming any viewer will donate stars to me and those stars can be redeemed in the form of money which will be transferred to our bank account every two months. Alhamdulilah almost 3 months I made live stream video games, I managed to collect a thousand Malaysian ringgit and that is an achievement for me
today we can see too many people doing video game
streaming because they know that it can generate a lucrative income.
for example the famous streamer soloz or known as muhd
faris zakaria is a popular gamer & streamer in Malaysia. On 23 July 2020, Soloz was the record holder of the Malaysia Book of Records which broke his own personal record when he managed to grab more than 100,000 viewers in his live stream. in fact, he can generate an income of RM35,900 a month. his success with live stream video games we can see that video games are not something useless. if we know how to take advantage of it then we can get a lot of good compared to bad.
Games have shown to improve your multitasking ability.
This is one of the most notable benefits of gaming because it
provides you with the ability to perform your daily tasks better and more efficiently, and also complete many tasks at the same time.
Many games force players to perform several tasks at the
same time – especially action games. For example, you have to look at the enemy on the screen, keep track of your health, ammo, and other stats, as well as move your character. You might also be speaking on a microphone with your teammates and friends. With all of the fast paced action and hyper- stimulation that modern games provide, gamer’s may improve their multi-tasking ability. Modern video games are based on strategies compelling the gamers to think out of the box. Therefore, they become skilled in planning and devising strategies to executing the projects in the professional world. Gamers with regular exposure turn out to be a better resource manager as compared to those who are not avid followers of the strategy based gaming.
So there are actually a lot of benefits in this video game.
There is no need for us to compare or scold if our siblings or our child play video games. Stop fighting the trend of the game, if that's where you are now. Don't go against the trend of the game. Be one with the game. Enter the game. Understand it. Understand the dynamics of the way your child plays the games they play. Understand how their minds function from the context of the game outwards, rather than from the outside world inwards. we need to understand that every thing we do has its benefits. that's all sharing from me
