Why gaming is good for everyone?
• Most people have always assumed they were the cause of many mental and physical problems. Even if there was
a lack of scientific evidence to prove it.
• In this presentation we will discuss why gaming is beneficial for you, especially during lockdown where you are
stuck in your home. Some say it is in our human nature to find something to blame when there’s an issue, and
video games have always been an easy target. Or, do video games really hinder our ability to learn, make us
more violent, or affect our physical health?
• While there still isn’t enough evidence to offer a solid answer, the good news is that most researchers are
discovering that games can be good for us.
1) You get better at decision making
• 90% of video games today need you to be excellent in decision making. Video Games from Mario to FPS games
like Call of Duty require the player to plan ahead before moving anywhere. Almost every game have maps, some
without maps or small maps but variety of operators. A player needs to acquainted with each and every operator
and brain mapping. So this is a decision which could be very vital for you and your team.
• E.g. In order to perform a mission in a game, you need to draft out a strategy and discus it with your teammates
and then proceed. Sounds easy right? But what if I tell you, it has to be done within 10 seconds. That’s right, that’s
the average waiting time in millions of games before actually joining the game.
• During this time, sitting at home will not help you be a better decision maker, but with video games by your side,
you may not be able to use these same decisions in the real world but you will be equipped by so many skills to
perform decision making effectively and efficiently.
2) Enhancing your ability to learn
• Almost every game today whether it be a FPS or a strategic game like Sim City need the player to learn multiple
things at once. Players need to learn about different scenarios, environment, features, tools, which in turn increase
your ability to learn and also learn almost anything fast. Sim City helps you understand about taxes paid by the
citizens and how to implement those taxes effectively and efficiently to rise your city till zenith.
• Driving games like Forza motorsport have reportedly helped increase players driving skills. These endless driving
games have helped players to become more inquisitive and alert.
• Today, when sitting at home due to lockdown, one can help their learning ability grow which may not be happening
the other way.
3) Improving hand-eye coordination
• Curious to see who could perform better at these virtual surgeries, Scientists at the University of Texas Medical
Branch brought together a group of high school kids, college students, and medical residents.
• After testing the three groups to see who could outperform the others, the scientists were surprised to discover
that the high school students did the best.
• Why? Simply put, the high school kids played video games at least two hours a day while the medical residents
rarely had time to play.
• While playing you don’t have time to look down to your keyboard, which button to push when simultaneously you are
driving a car on screen. Video games enhances the players hand-eye coordination, that person will be able to do
tasks much faster. This is not absurd, but you may be able to grab the exact thing you had in mind without even
looking at it.
