Video games are not good for you. Video games makes you lose your concentration Video games makes you boring. Video games affects your brain. Video games are distractions.

How many times you have heard of these?

Well I have heard so many times in my lifetime from everyone around me, including my parents, siblings, etc.

But are they really not good for you? Let’s uncover this in the following:

Better Decisions

You might not have noticed this, but when you play games, the ability to make decision increases to a great extend. In every game, you will have to make decisions at some point, and because games are designed in a way that they don’t allow you to take more time on making decisions, therefore, you make decisions more faster. Ultimately, you realize that most of your decision are actually correct.

Helps your Vision

My parents have told me numerous time that If I continue to play more games, I would probably lose my eyesight easily. While, this may be correct for some games where it requires too much of stressing your eyes. But there are few games like shooting where you actually improve your eyesight when you play more.

Ability to Learn

Because you don’t know what’s gonna be in the next level of the game once you complete existing level. Therefore, you ability to think and learn more increases to a great extend. The nature of video games are like that, that if you don’t learn then you wouldn’t be able to finish the game.

Improves Focus & Attention

One of the biggest concerns which every parents would have is that their child doesn’t spend much time on improving their focus and attention. Therefore, there is a good news now. You can get this done by playing video games.

Eliminates Depression

Time and again, it has been proven that one of the best ways to fight depression is by playing video games. It takes away your stress in less than few minutes and brings you back into the real world.

Although, everything comes with a time. You shouldn’t be playing video games all the time. One hour of video game per day is still okay. But anything more than this would definitely affect you.

Therefore, instead of having problems using video games, there are actually so many benefits of playing them.
