Some people say that young people learn useful skills by playing electronic and computer games. Others say that young people who play electronic and computer games are wasting their time. Discuss both views and give your opinion

There have been arguments over the possible impacts that computer and electronic games might *on the young.

Although

there is some truth to the belief that playing games on computers and other electronic devices enhances certain skills, I would side with those who think playing

such

games is a waste of

time

. On the one hand, there are several reasons why some people consider video games as a tool to sharpen some important skills.

First

, many games,

such

as science or puzzle games, stimulate young players’ brains and sensitivity, which gives those players an opportunity to cultivate their creativity and problem solving skills.

Second

, people argue that shooting games, like Counter Strike, require tremendous focus and extremely fast reflexes to complete stages in those games. With reflexes and concentration

, players can demonstrate more effectively daily task which specifically require those enhanced skills.

On the other hand

, I would argue that spending

time

on video games is a waste regardless of the possibility of skill development they might offer. Young people are supposed to study properly either at school or at home, to which

this

form of entertainment is a grave detriment. Those types of games are fun;

however

, they are addictive at the same

time

. An excessive amount of

time

would be used for games if players are exposed to them on a frequent basis.

This

time

for study, which should be

Furthermore

, skills sharpened by computer and electronic games can

options,

such

as reading books or participating in sport clubs. In conclusion, it seems to me that having a few skills enhanced by playing video games cannot justify the fact that it is a waste of

time
