effect of video games on heallth

Games are addicting like everything else in excess is not a good thing. It can make you ignore things you need to do to get past just one more level or something.

I personally think video games are good for everyone. Mainly because they give us a better awareness of things.

a bad effect of videogame for me aside from missing hours of sleep is getting dizzy and nauseous when playing with games that have very dodgy cameras.

It's true. Well said. Games have good and bad effects on us and our mental and physical wellbeing will depend on what genres of games we play. Games like Bejeweled 2 will improve our mind power as that's a puzzle game and it also has a timer so that you can challenge yourself. However, games like GTA 4 will only cause one to become more addicted and violent, thereby affecting people like students as they will neglect their studies if played regularly.

ya ur right, video gaming is a mixed bag, having both good and bad effects. apart from head-eye co-ord. it also improves eye-hand co-ord. and this helps in playing real life games, especially games like tennis and badminton.on the bad side, small children may get exposed to violence and adult content and therefore may turn harm to the city. however gaming is a boon when done in moderation.

Gaming is a good thing as long as you do not loose touch with reality. If you focus enough on a good game you become so immersed you have a "zen moment". I think anyone who has played a lot of games understands what i am talking about. People with ADHD and "disorders" that affect their ability to concentrate can benefit from focusing their attention onto a single objective. I think games calm the mind for many people, and it is a sensation that they don't frequently feel. I don't believe that violent games and media make violent people. The people are the problem to begin with, the media is only stimulation. There is a negative side, All MMORPG players can appreciate. Some games take more time and effort than most jobs do! These are the types of games that can become so distracting that people forget to eat, bathe, take care of children, go to work and so on. I think gaming causing vision problems is a myth. I have been playing for over 20 years, and I have 20/20 vision. Becoming adjusted to gaming likely teaches the brain new ways to perceive the visual input, making it seem like the vision has decreased. Playing fast paced shooters online teaches your brain to react more quickly, thus scanning audio and visual input at an increased rate.

Another bad effect i actually got from too much playing the same games is when you are wake up but you are tired sometime you can things like if you are in the game you play too much its a really bad effect or you can dream about the games too (not so bad but can be really bad in long term)

hi, there are many affect of video games in our health, it will affect the eyes, brain and urinary of a person. when you are playing video games,your eyes might get blurred.

yes negative point of video game is more dangerous than its positive points because while sit in a same posture in chair in excited mode it damages your backbone..and also your nerve stays stressed if you play horror or fighting game which forces your body to insert hormone into your body and too much hormones is not at all good.and also it causes spondilitis,arthritis etc.. but good point that it gives us pleasure.

Video games are both good and bad as explained in this discussion before.Many tests after graduation are related to video games.This means that good players of video games are able to pass these tests gracefully.But as everyone know,they cause a strain in one's eyes and brain too!
