Computer games.

    Computer games are gaining more and more popularity nowadays. Some people claim that teenagers get a lot of benefits playing them. But other people argue that young people should spend their free time going in for sport. Let’s look upon this problem objectively and try to understand it.
    To begin with, computer games develop memory, because when you play it you try to remember all details. Moreover, it develops logical thinking, language and basic computer skills. Apart from that, you can make virtual friends. So it is another way of communication. In addition, playing computer games is a good way of entertainment.                                                                                                                                  Unfortunately, many computer and video games are very violent, and research shows that this violence can affect kids in many ways.
  To start with, computer games have a harmful effect on health. Playing games for a long time kids don't have much exercise. Besides, they can spoil their eye sight. Doctors are concerned about kids being overweight and unfit, and eating unhealthy snack foods while they play games.      Game playing is like an addiction to some people. They play or think about playing games and how they can win for most of their time, which means they don't learn well at school, don't communicate with others and can become really boring people to be around!    Another point to be made is that a lot of games have aggressive moments and this makes teenagers cruel and causes violent behavior. To sum up, the problem has as many strong points as well as weak ones. Computer games are a great way to learn how to do things. Many computer games help kids to learn about their feelings, beliefs, problems, as well as being a fun thing to do. Children just should have plenty of time for playing outside with other kids, being a helpful part of the family and keeping fit and active. Things have to be balanced! Too much playing of computer games is like too many sweet treats!
