Online games can make players feel happy, reduce their stress, encourage them to learn more about technology and improve their quality of life. Moreover, users can make friends and get to know more people since they can play games that use Yahoo Messenger, which enables users to network and possibly find jobs more easily.
When players reach an age when they can distinguish between right and wrong, they should reflect on the value of video games in their life so they will be able to get benefits and pleasure from them. Like playing chess, video games might help them be more intelligent and know how to solve problems, but if they are addicted, they will waste time. Therefore, they should be sure to play and get the advantages while avoiding negative impacts. |
Sath Vanny, 22 year-old junior of banking and finance at the National University of Management I play games online for releasing stress after working or studying. I find that playing games online also improves my knowledge of technology, especially computers. In addition, it helps develop my speed of sight since I have to look around the screen of my computer to find my enemies and I can exercise my brain as well, as I have to memorise where my foes are. Moreover, I can stay updated on technology, like how online gaming is developing and how games are different from the old versions. An Sokea, a 20 year-old junior of accounting at Build Bright University I think playing games can make a player’s brain work faster than those who do not and it can help them to be more flexible and intelligent since they have to be reactive when playing. However, I do not like playing games online because it takes up my time. I feel that I might spend too much time playing and my studies will begin to go poorly. More importantly, it will affect my eyes and brain. In my spare time, I prefer playing football. I think that playing football is better and gives you more energy since I can exercise and sweat and improve my health. In addition, I can make friends and meet more people when we play against each other. I can learn solidarity from football”.
