If we compare watching TV for 3 hours and playing computer games for 3 hours I can say the latter is much better. When you watch TV you just sit there and do nothing while your eyes absorb all the information on screen and your brain becomes inactive. Playing computer games, however, offers your mind interactive content as you are able to plan moves and co-operate with team members in first person shooter and real time strategy games or role playing games. You are also more active in FPS games and your hand-eye coordination plus attention span increases as you lie in wait for the enemy to appear to snipe him down. You will also improve your reflexes during a fast game.
Hmm..I beg to differ, dude. At least when you watch TV, you gain some sort of information- be it educational or social info. But you dont gain anything playing games.
I doubt playing games increases your attention span...ppl who are on the computer the most are the ones who will have the least patience, accordg to my Uni lecturer.
Haha..i've always thought ppl with no life are the ones who play computer games
It's as good as never installed it in the first place.
Just wasted another 2 hours.
