Some people may think that children should not be allowed to play computer games because it can make children to waste their time. However, I disagree with their idea because playing computer can make children to develop their intellectual capacity and they can practive multi-tasking ability.
First, children can expand their intellectual capacity. While they playing a computer game, the certain area of their brain will be activated. The activated brain allows children to develop their creativity. According to research from University of Busan, the visual area and the motor area of children's brains who were playing computer games were activated ten times more than children who were reading books. Later, the researchers asked children to solve some problems. The result demonstrated that children who played computer games solved more problems than children who read a book and most of their problem-solving methods were much creative than othr group.
Second, children can be better at multi-tasking if they play computer games. While they playing computer games, they have to see the screen and move their fingers at the same time. It can be helpful for children to practice different tasks at the same moment. For example, when I went to medical camp for children, I had to play a variety of computer games one hours a day for seven days. Teachers of the camp told the reason why they ask us to play computer games to the participants of the camp. The reason was playing computer games helps people to train their body to more precisely cooperate for detailed taskings. Furthermore, it was one of the training methods for doctors who practive surgery.
In conclusion, children can be more creative and practice multi-tastking skiils when they playing computer games. For these reasons, I disagree with the statement that playing computer games hinder children to use their time effectively. |
