Video Games are Helpful


      Video games have been around since the early80s and have evolved much since then. They bring us much joy and entertainment.They set us in these engaging worlds much different than our own. Many peoplemay think video games are a waste of time. Nothing is achieved by playing thesegames, but I disagree.
    
       Studies on video games have shown that video games actually help in thedevelopment of a child. Children’s minds strengthen through strategy andproblem solving games. Their reflexes become better through shooting games.Other games help expand and widen a child’s imagination.
       
       At a school in the U.S. a teacher uses videogames to teach his class of 6th graders. These educational gameshave actually shown a 70% in academic performance. The material being taught isn’tseen as work, but as play. The Children can’t wait to start their homework andstudy for the test. Of course too much of anything never results in somethinggood. Everything in moderation brings out the best in a nation
