Researchers have found that kids who clock regular console
time may have better-developed brains. Plus, video games can improve their
hand–eye coordination, their grip on science and even their IQ.
Whoever said that video games are bad for you clearly didn’t
do their research! I took the liberty to conduct my own study and after a
little time on Google I would like to present to you some great reasons for why
video games are actually good for you.
1.
Video games can make you more creative.
A study conducted by Michigan State
University, published online in the journal Computers in Human Behavior,
suggests that kids who play video games tend to be more creative. I'm not sure
exactly how you measure a person's creativity levels, but maybe video game
designers should fine-tune their games to develop even more creativity with
users. That would be real cool.
2.
Video games can help improve your vision.
Researchers at Nottingham University found
that most video games could help people with vision problems. These games could
achieve in one hour, the same results it would take eye patches 400 hours to
achieve. Wow! That's pretty amazing.
3.
Video games can help improve your
decision-making skills.
Having trouble making up your mind? Try
video games. Fast action video games "help train people to make quick,
accurate decisions in all aspects of life, new findings suggest." So next
time your lady can't decide what to wear, sit her down in front of the Xbox for
an hour.
4.
Video games improve your attention span.
Studies show that video games can help
increase your attention span, improving people's driving skills and abilities
to multi-task. Sounds pretty good to me.
5.
Gaming can sharpen your memory.
Get this, researchers are using video games
in rehabilitation programs to help slow or reverse the "cognitive decline
that comes with ageing." So next time daddy can’t find his EZ Link card...Yep,
it's time for XBOX!
6.
Playing games can improve hand-eye coordination.
7.
look, there's no substitute for gettin'
classroom learning on, but video games challenge and workout the brain in
different ways. READ THIS to find out how.
8.
Video games help reduce pain.
Both physical and mental pain!
9.
Strengthens family bonds!

Would make me happy.
So I think that for my birthday, I need an
XboX 360 with Skyrim- That's because playing games often involves
problem-solving, achieving goals or overcoming obstacles - skills that
educators applaud. So parents, relax. You may not get it, or like it, but I
would be learning more than just how to smash dinosaurs!
