Advantages and Disadvantages of Video Games

Do you believe video games are killing our time? Do you believe the cyber world is useless? It’s always discussed whether video games are just a waste of time and do not provide anything beneficial for us. I believe just like we need food and water, we also need time to have fun. Some people do sports, some people prefer dating, I prefer computer games.
Video games such as computer games or play station games help us relax. After long study hours we need some time to rest and have fun. Video games can provide these. Also, as long as the game is in English, it helps you improve your speaking and listening skills by listening to the dialogues throughout the game. Next, it has a fictional world inside which helps develop your imagination and you can get some inspiration in your daily life from these fictional characters.
Unfortunately, it has some disadvantages too. First it causes addiction and it could waste a lot of your time. Secondly, spending too much time in front of the screen could damage your eyes. Finally, video games cost money and you spend lots of money on them if you’re a shopaholic and a computer addict.
To sum up, video games are beneficial for us if we can arrange the time to study and the time to play. If we don’t become a massively addicted gamer, video games are beneficial for us.
