Playing video games is not always bad it can be good and healthy for the body.Mark Griffiths, believes that it can help ill people recover, because Video games can be used to supplement physiotherapy or occupational therapy helping increase the strength in players' hands. As for children video games can be so helpful first it will increase intelligence because in the game the child will be put into problems that he will have to solve, and that improve his solving skills. Second, video games represent some real games for example games like football, baseball, basketball. When a child plays these games he will learn more about it and then he can play it outside with his friends understanding the rules of the game. Third it sharpens the child reflexes, and instant decision making ( decide within a second whether to go left or right? etc.) And enhances manual dexterity. There are also many educational video games that help children that provokes forward thoughts, and these games are like what they study at school. in video games kids can enhance and develop skills like remembering, inducing, memorizing, deducing. Not only that also in war games children will learn geography without even noticing (risk), and in racing they memorize cities (driver parallel line ps2).
