Video Games in General by Julio Leal
Nowadays video games have improved a lot thanks to the technological advantages of our times. As usual video games are said to be very bad, that they stand for all the violent and horrible things, and that they mess with kids' minds. Actually, it has been proven that in some cases video games do improve your mind. Video games' are played by all kinds of people around the world including kids and adults. Now consoles also have an important role in video games, since the video game can't be awesome without a console that can play it.
Most doctors, psychologists, and parents will tell you that video games are awful for a kid's mind. Ok that is partially true, because some kids do fail in school because of spending too much time playing video games, also they tend to be kind of antisocial but that's not for all. Other severe cases are when kids no longer can identify reality and start doing the things they see in the game in real life. Other kids do play video games, and at the same time they can be excellent students academically, they are not crazy, but maybe not that antisocial, but that can be improved with friends, family, etc. It has also helped their mind by making them think faster, have better reflexes, hand-eye coordination, and also better memory.
If you look at the people who play video games you will realize that most gamers are adults, not just kids. You might be surprised of how an adult could play more than a kid, it's actually true. For some reasons such as: the adults have more money to invest, adults are aware of the time they have, and know what games are worthy of buying. Take me, for example. I am an 18 year old guy who is still in high school; about to graduate. I should be all cramp up with tests, and homework. Well that is actually true, but I always find the time to play some video games, because I can relax and also the fact that I like it makes it even better. My brother can play more than I can, because he doesn't have the same amount of work as I do... But he is constantly being checked on by my mother. Since she studies with him, she knows what is best for him.
Consoles have been evolving through out the years. It all started with Sega, and Nintendo. Now we have powerful consoles such as Wii, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360. By powerful I mean all of the console's capabilities, it's not just a console to play games, you can have internet access, play music, share your photos, etc. You see, they are not devices used to play games only, they have other multi media functions that are nice. Now the only bad thing about these consoles is their price. They go from $300 to $600, which makes it pretty hard to afford for some people. Also take into consideration that the prices vary according to your country. This is awful, because now video games are turning into exclusive hobbies because before, almost everyone could get their hands on a console. Now if they are over $300 makes it really difficult. Because most families would prefer to spend those $300 on things that are important, and video games are not one of them.
About the Author
In conclusion, video games are part of our daily lives. We might own some of them, or at least know what people are talking about. Video games are not violent and horrible things, they are just made for you to entertain yourself. The people who play video games and act differently are the ones who give a wrong image to other people about what a video game stands for. Other people that play video games and are normal are seen as exceptions, and that's wrong. Basically video games are not bad, but people get the idea that they are bad due to what they see in the people who are messed up, and not in the normal ones.
