PC GAMES
PC games are computer games that are played on a computer with the use of interface devices
such as a keyboard and mouse, a joystick, or a gamepad. Speakers or headphones can also be
used to convey sound. The terms "computer game" and "video game," "console game," and
"arcade game" are not interchangeable. Arcade games are available in public settings, but video
and console games are frequently connected to a television. Games that were formerly only
available in arcades have evolved into PC games that can be played at home. This has allowed
for the creation of longer-lasting games as well as the removal of the necessity for players to
enter cash.

BENIFICIAL FOR KIDS
As parents, we focus more attention on the potential dangers than on the potential
benefits of electronic video games, but these games are a normal part of modern
childhood. If you know what to look for, video games can be a powerful tool to help
children develop certain life skills. They can help parents choose appropriate leisure-time
games, help educators seek ways to supplement classroom teaching, and help game
developers create games that teach.
Video Games Help Kids Make Friends
In contrast to their parents, most young kids see video games as a social activity, not an
isolating one. Video games create a common ground for young kids to make friends; allow
kids to hang out; and provide structured time with friends. In our research, boys were more
likely to play video games with a group of friends, either in the same room or online. Plus,
young boys said games were a frequent focus for conversation among their peers: One boy
revealed that his peers at school mostly talked about "girls and games -- the two Gs." Our
research found that children with mild learning disabilities were likely to choose "making
