Online gaming has been thought to have posed a threat to the intellectual development of the youth. But this concept of this so-called plagues of moral and intellectual society is an unfair lapse of judgement.
It is true that there are a thousand and one effects of online gaming: fallin' grades, unecessary expenditures, erratic school attendance, peer pressure, peer group shift, bullying, increasing rate of eye defects, body pains, lack of quality time, and the list goes on and on. Health deterioration now has a new culprit, as well does morality degradation. Even poor social skills have been linked to online gaming. Technology's expansion again has manifested it's degrading effect, to the youth, to the society, and in all aspects of the community.
But what is often overlooked is the smilingly latent benefits of computer gaming. Ironically, habitual gaming can result to intricate budgetting- as in one plans for his daily expenses. Another benefit is a diverse social circle, which in turn causes improvement in communication skills, as opposed to popular belief. people get to mingle with other people of different reace, of different culture, and of different community, which in turn causes interconnectedness and interrelationship of people. On the other aspects, online gaming enhances hand-eye coordination, developed through time in the realms of cyberspace.
vocabulary significantly widens, as does knowledge in history, mythology, current events and culture. It is also suggested that IQ of gamers increases as well as brain activity. Logic, reasoning and strategy re also heightened, notes expert, physocological studies.
And, to end my argument though quite prematurely, and drive to win and the pursuit of excellence is what gamers have as a cut anove the rest.
It is not all about the dark side. Online gaming has sunk perks to, and these perks may be just what it takes to survive in the world - in the real worls, and in the virtual.
