There is a common misconception that video games “brainwash” children and only harm their intellect. Although this is not the case, video games have been proven to improve everyday motor skills and even vision. Some parents may believe that their son/daughter will become some kind of lonely psychopath because of video games, but this is not the case. The truth is that video games cause little to no damage to children's brains. There are many other things that have improved rather than diminished. There is even scientific evidence to support this. With testing showing players develop the ability to use the smallest, fastest part of their brain to process situations and make decisions. It has also emerged that with enough playing time, video games can even significantly improve the weakened skills of dyslexics. Several tests have shown that the same basic skills that are hampered in dyslexics can be easily recovered through action game sessions. With all this to improve one's basic and complex abilities, one must see how video games do not "brainwash" people. Video games are not "brainwashing", rather they help increase a person's mental capacity by developing their motor skills and can even improve the abilities of a dyslexic and match their intelligence to that of their peers class. Several studies have confirmed that video games can help improve vision and coordination. , consciousness and reaction skills. The University of Rochester has done many tests on this topic, and they all concluded that there are many more aspects that are improved than hindered. Rochester conducted a test in which 24 non-players were divided into two groups. One of the groups of 12 played action games for 50 hours while the other 12 found themselves...... middle of paper... accidents on and off road. In conclusion, video games are not that bad; without violence, they could become great tools of influence for all.
