for and against fps games

This is a discussion about computer games and whether or not they are bad for people. Not just children play computer games.

From playing computer games i improved on my research skills and typing skills. It helped me with both my writing and spelling skills, maths and calculation / scoring / estimating skills. I have to solve cause and effect problems. I improved my hand eye co-ordination. I also learned about places around the world for example in China a place called vertigo it is a map on the game.

Playing computer games has a down side too, you can lose time on a game that never ends and is addicting. Computer games are also physically passive, negative things might happen to you like weight gain, repetitive strain injury, over stimulation of eyes that effects your sight. Kids and teenagers get very boring in conversations and are all ways talking about games. they also spend less time with everyone especially family and friends.

So in conclusion you need to balance what we call screen time with other activities such as outside time, chores, family activities and even creative drawing or painting or making things ... I like lego and model making for example.

I am not good at being aware of the time passing so it is important to use a timer or clock to help you notice. Its not that hard to get used to. This was my mums and dads idea.
