Some people regard video games as harmless fun. Others, however, believe that video games arc having an adverse effect on the people who play them. Do the drawbacks of video games outweigh the benefits?

Some people believe that

video

playing

video

games

. On the one hand, there are drawbacks to playing

video

games

. Gaming can be highly addictive.

Users

are constantly given scores, new targets and frequent rewards to keep them playing.

For instance

, many children now spend hours each day trying to progress through the levels of a game or to get a higher score than their friends. If they did not waste their time playing

video

games

, they would not experience negative effects

such

as problems at school or lack of sleep.

On the other hand

, I would argue that these drawbacks are outweighed by the benefits.

Firstly

,

users

, or gamers, are transported into a virtual world which is often more exciting than real-life pastimes.

For example

, children tend to imagine themselves as heroes when they play computer

games

, rescuing planets and saving other people's lives.

Secondly

, these

games

encourage imagination and creativity,

as well as

logical thinking and problem-solving. Children greatly improve their reasoning ability

while

playing

video

games

.

Finally

, computer simulation

games

can improve

users

' motor skills and help to prepare them for real-world tasks.

Video

games

cause young

users

to make independent decisions. In conclusion, it seems to me that the benefits of

video

games

are more significant than the drawbacks. If we do not play them more than needed, it can influence us in a good way.
