Playing video games can offer numerous benefits beyond just playing for entertainment. It can develop skills through the games you can play. One example is Minecraft. Minecraft can develop players to think creatively of how they want to build things. You also learn different minerals throughout the game such as, redstone, obsidian, and diamonds. Not only that, it makes gamers think critically and solve complex problems. This can enhance strategic adventure titles to challenge players, this is known as achievement hunting. Video games can also improve hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.
Many parents distrust video consoles and don’t want them in the house because they are afraid that they will damage their children’s performance at school. However, the benefits of video games include improved powers of concentration, creativity, memory, languages and teamwork. An example of another video game is Tomb Raider Saga. There are endless other videogame characters who,surprisingly enough, awaken early vocations and teach history, geography and mathematics to millions of schoolchildren and adults around the world.
The impact of video games on society has been the subject of numerous studies. For example, in 2014, Andrew Przybylski, a psychologist at the Internet Institute at Oxford University, published a study in the journal Paediatrics establishing how long children should be allowed to devote to video gaming. He concluded that those who played less than an hour were more emotionally stable, while those who played for around three hours a day developed social problems. Therefore, when it comes to video games, moderation is key, because as well as improving learning abilities, there are other benefits.
