GAMING



Video games can have many different types of effects. Video games in some cases tend to create new ways of the human mind, some in good ways and bad ways. It can alter many features in a human being. The fact is that it’s a fantasy world it can expand the human interface. It can also cause damages. It can completely change the person way of thinking, and personality. Gaming has its good side and its bad.

People who tend to play games have a whole different way of thinking. Their mind would think in very different perspectives. They tend to become violent and aggressive depending on the game, but according to research "it is proven to be wrong". It is true that their way of thinking changes but not their physical actions. They still act their selves but just with more exaggerations of the character they tend to play with. The damages they tend to received can be undone by simply stop playing it, but others just get addicted to it and that’s when the trouble begins.

The over excessive gaming time can alter a human. It will make the player/s more likely to try and become more and more like the character in which they fantasize to be as of the game. It can become something more than just a game, it can be more like a hypnotization method, causing the player to reenact all the characteristics of the character. Many articles report that these facts are "logically approved and that most of these cases are false in MOST of the people" but yes indeed it is possible, a minority of the people who tend to feign on it get these effects.

The fantasy world that it creates can be somewhat helpful for some people. It can take them out of an insomnia stage, relief them from their stress and for the reason we all sometimes play, to kill time. All these facts are true. People use it to release themselves from the world enjoy them selves in ways you cant do in real life. Its all in imagination. According to a few articles read "this is pretty much the stage in which the game feigning begins". You play, you like it. You play it more and you love it. You love it and you’re an addict. Pretty much that’s the way it goes. You keep going until you reach the top. By the time your done you’ve wasted about 1 year of very valuable time. It is somewhat a waste. Causing you to literally lose your job and become something you never thought you would of. A complete infant. Pretty bad side effect right? Well just quit like everything else with addiction.

The whole gaming instance can be good and fun but also deadly. It can bring enjoyment for a while but tragedy is just around the corner. There will always be someone better and smarter as long as you keep that up. Time your games and enjoy life. If your job is at gaming then your lucky if not, time it! This may avoid consequences and it will be more enjoyable knowing that the more you do it the more boring it will get.
