Are Video Games Good For You?

Oh of course, most kids would much rather play video games than go outside and of course, do their homework and perhaps that is why children are becoming smarter in this day and age. Believe it or not, video games build your intelligence, it's a proven fact. When a child or anyone else plays a video game, they are giving their brain a pretty good workout and at the same time, they are exercising their thumbs with the joystick.
Children are navigating their way through a virtual world that is mysterious. In video games, kids have to figure out the rules of the game and the goals they need to achieve to learn. For hours, the kids work at solving puzzles that are nested within these games. Yep, today's culture is defiantly making us smarter. "Telescoping" it is called. Gamers have to deal with their immediate problems while they keep their long-term goals in their mind. "Probing." Probing is referring to the strategic thinking and complex problem solving of video games.
Playing a video game is a parallel to working on a science problem. Gamers are just like students in a laboratory, they must come up with that hypothesis. For example, they have to find the quest in WoW." With this, they engage in action by hunting for that quest and completing it. The gamers will be discovering if their hypothesis is true or false. If they are not able to complete this quest, then they will be revising their hypothesis. Playing video games is a fundamental to learning.
In conclusion...there is nothing wrong with playing video games. We could just go back to the old days, take video games and all that away and stop using your brain. Think about it: Run around in a park or exercise the brain...
