Topic 5: Some people say that young people can learn useful
skills by playing electronics and computer games. Others argue
that people who play electronics and computer games are
wasting their time
Discuss both views and give your opinion
People's opinions on the benefits of playing video or computer games vary in
today's society. Although it improves a number of skills in children, I think this
activity can increase a serious level of addiction in children and can have a
negative impact on their health.
On one hand, there are many causes for why some people find playing on laptops
and smartphones to be beneficial. Teenagers engage in this activity primarily to
develop useful abilities like problem-solving and logical thinking. When playing
games that require you to solve obstacles at various game levels, such as computer
puzzle games, helps you build the ability to act thoughtfully in challenging
situations. Furthermore, young people can develop good building skills, creativity,
and their capacity for imagination when they engage in various video games.
Evidently, kids' development of a number of talents is greatly influenced by
electronic games.
On the other hand, I agree with people who believe that engaging in gaming
activities is a complete waste of time. Aside from that, there are several negative
consequences for young people's mental and physical development. Primarily,
from the aspect of mental development, most adolescents develop extreme
addiction in playing computer games, such as the desire to progress from one level
to the next and become a winner by scoring the highest points. As a result, they are
separated from the actual world and cannot act wisely in society. Besides, this can
also leads to a huge setback in their academic progress.
In conclusion, I think that, while there are some advantages to playing computer
and electronic games, the disadvantages in terms of communal, psychological, and
physical development are enormous.
