Computer games develop child intelligence & imagination. Do you agree ?

Computer games are one of tire parts of show business today. Heroes of the most famous games are treated like film stars. Kids buy their posters and these Computer madę heroes are intervievved like real people.

The first serious discussion about Computer games influence on children was started after pubhshing gamę called “Doom”. Tliis fuli of blood and violence gamę caused age restrictions on games, just like it is with the movies. Psychologist think tliat limit between reality and imagination is very smooth and might affect children’s behavior. Kids with guns soiuids impossible, but after events in Littleton and Erftul it has a new meaning. Obviously we can not hołd Computer games editors responsible for every youth manifestation of violence. The age restrictions of Computer games are not obeyed. No matter what kind of gamę kids want to buy, they don't need any ID because tliey won’t be asked for it.

On the otlier side tliere are some educational Computer games tliat develop intelligence and imagination. The strategie games leam tactical planning Adventure games extend imagination. There are lot of games for yoiuiger children tliat teacli mathematic or foreign languages. Tliree dimensional games develop kid's mind's eye. In recent years Computer games are used in school to aid regular education by 'To teach and to play” motto.

Computer games are relatively new kind of entertainment so influence of it on psyche should be checked in couple years. About sixty years ago television was said by some people to be evil of the whole world and the otliers believed it would help with education and science. No one was riglit. In most cases television is watched for soap operas. I think tliat games woiTt be something very good or very bad. It’s somewhere in the nuddle.

Beside all of tliat kids liave free clioice and if tliey want to play violence games notliing would intei fere tliem with it.
