                                          Why Video Games Are Good For You

Introduction:

Minecraft, Pokemon and Lego Batman, these are all Video games that a lot of people play, these games can also help you and not be as bad as a lot of people say. Hi my name is Nicholas and I am going to give you three reasons why videogames are good for you, these points include better eyesight, help sick and hurt people and can help you Mentally.

Point 1:

My first point is it can improve your eyesight, In the 2009 study, expert action gamers played first-person shooter games like “Unreal Tournament 2004” and “Call of Duty” while others play “The Sims 2”. Those playing “Shoot-’em  up games” saw a big boost in their “sensitivity function”

or ability to notice small changes in brightness of an image. The study’s authors believe that the process of locating or aiming at enemies actually exercised gamers' eyes, improving their vision.

Point 2:

My second point is that video games can help sick and injured people, in 2010, scientists found that when people are in pain, if they play games on the xbox kinect and the nintendo wii they feel less pain as they are distracted by the game they are playing. Video games can also help kids with dyslexia, dyslexia is when you get letters muddled around in words. Researchers found that kids playing action games such as Rayman Raving Rabbids, they can read a lot faster and not get the letters wrong as much as they would before.

Point 3:

My final point is that video games can help you mentally,researchers got 72 people to play two different games one was starcraft, a strategy game the other is sims a real life simulation game. after a week the people playing the games did some tests before and after the week, the people playing starcraft got higher results than the people playing sims.

Conclusion:

So as you can see video games can help you in a lot of ways from helping sick people to making you smarter, and better eyesight, so next time someone tells you that video games are bad for them you can tell them these 

reasons why they aren't but are actually good. Thank you for listening.
