Posted by fts on 10 March 2011

There are conducted disputes already many years on a theme whether computer games do to the person harm or on the contrary help in development of some skills. Basically children and teenagers are fond of computer games. Parents say at this time to the children that computer games are harmful and because of them you will turn to “the brainless idiot“. There is the opinion in a society that games are dangerous to mentality of the child: develop aggression, narrow a focus of his interests, reduce a circle of contacts and badly affect progress in study. Because of it there were many opponents of computer games, however at the same time there is a set of people which don’t represent the life without game. As it is known, long time providing at the computer can make negative impact on health of the person not only in physical but also mental sense. So, for example, it can cause sight deterioration (in avoidance of it it is necessary to do certain exercises for eyes), and also causes considerable reduction of mobility. Besides some kinds of games can make enough negative impact on human mentality as they provoke occurrence of superfluous aggression.

Not all games harm, there are also such that bring notable advantage. In the beginning it is necessary to understand classification of games to learn what harm or advantage they bring. Toys share on some basic classes: “Action”, “Simulators”, “Strategy”, “Adventures”, “Role-playing games”.

Action are typical games with very dynamical gameplay and it is very difficult to come off them in view of their unceasing plot. They most strongly operate on mentality as there are a lot of blood and violence in these games, also they very much tire the player that badly affects his physical health. But in this genre there are also pluses: first, much it more improves reaction playing ; secondly, it in small quantities can help to relax from the daily work.

Simulators happen different: racing, sports, space etc. These games influence neutral –almost don’t bring harm, but also there is no advantage from them any if only you don’t want to become the racer or the trainer of a soccer team.

Here the main favourite of psychologists is strategy. After long discussions they have decided that strategy practically don’t bring harm. The main advantage of strategy is an involvement of a brain playing as it makes global decisions of attack or protection.

Adventure is a game-narration in which the hero operated the player moves ahead on a plot and cooperates with the game world by means of application of subjects, dialogue with other characters and the decision of logic problems. “Logic” – is what it is necessary to focus the attention on. These games very much help with development of the child as in these games it is necessary to solve puzzles and to solve riddles. Also it promotes a relaxation as allow the person to distract from daily cares and to spend time pleasant. They don’t cause aggression.

Role-playing games have accepted at present the menacing scale. There was a large quantity of role-playing games which eat our time in inexcusable quantities. Role-playing games are dangerous that can replace completely public and private life. Parents should be especially careful with such games as it is better to limit time of the child in such games.

About Influence Of Computer Games On Children

Posted by fts on 09 March 2011

Why do children prefer computer games rather than reality. Desire to operate. The person is not simply automatic machine reacting to external influences but an active, creating and operating being. It concerns the child also. The child who already is able to realise himself and to correlate the actions to associates should have “territory”, a part of the life where he will be the owner, where he can operate, create and destroy, be so active, it is necessary for him. For the preschool child this “territory” can be absolutely small, for the teenager – it should be bigger.

And now we will reflect whether the child operates much in the life? If the child has no “territory” or it is too small for him it is much easier to remain at the previous stage – imaginations. Many took a great interest in reading of a fantasy and adventures, viewing of films of the same extremely-adventure maintenance.
So, the reason of hobby for computer games is absence of possibility to operate in the real life.

And if there is possibility? Actually, many parents give to the children enough freedom for self-expression and independence display and many children do not have conditional “territory” and an own room where they can manage. And all is good but the favourite child all the same sits down the computer and plays, plays and plays …

What to do?
About consequences of the computer games it is both aggression, and isolation, both uneasiness, and infringements of contact to associates, and absence of desire to study and many other things. What to do if the child has appeared dependent on computer games?

It is necessary to remember that the child most likely will leave in the thought up world, and at computer game presence – will leave in it.

And the most important that it is necessary to make is to give the chance to the child to be independent. Preschool children and younger schoolboys need to give this possibility, and here teenagers – are more conscious, it is possible to discuss with them, agree, allow to choose. The only thing that is not necessary to do is to speak “do what you want.

The second, not less important is to learn the child to operate himself and the independence entrusted to it. Own example of the adult and joint development of possibility new to the child is for this purpose necessary, especially it is important when the child only is accustomed to serious independence.
The third is to promote the variety of experience of the child. Presence of good books in the house is possibility to receive the theory. The book and the TV never will replace live dialogue with people, therefore at any age it is necessary to communicate with the child, together to do something, to go at excursion, to campaigns, to travel (at least to the nearest wood).

As we see, methods of struggle against such difficult phenomenon as computer dependence appear very simple and universal. Our advices can be generalised one capacious expression: the child needs to be respected.

Computers have become an inalienable part of our life. PCs are used not only for business purposes but for entertainment as well. There exist so many electronic games today – motorcycle games, RPG games, shooters, etc. But if you want to play a game just to relax and you are not a fan of gaming or you don’t want to pay money, take advantage of free games. In addition you can look for games online, for example free online racing games. Thus you even don’t have to go somewhere – the online network can offer you many things you might need.
