Life Plus The Help Of Video Games

I started the search with one question and from that many more came to mind .The first thing i did was to going to Google.com and searched video games research. I fund that games just don't teach teens but they pick up some habits.The things they pick up are good and bad.Video games there are many types of games there are sports, racing, action, fantasies.These games all teach different things .The research I have done so far has brag up that games help hand eye coordination ,math skulls, problem solving, and strategy .

I have readed many articles by doing my research and all of these articles have the same thing in comin people learned some thing from a video game some were in there life and didn't now that they did.I read in one article that this guy never played football a day in his life. The man learned how to play throw madden games. In anther article this kid had bad grades in math. One day teacher saw him making a program for the computer. Teacher didn't now how the kid could be doing this if was bad at math than the teacher noticed that the kid was have fun making the program.

Hey Mike, I know that I'm a gamer and I like to play them but all I have to say is that you can't just spend all day playing video games. Thats what some people do, just spend the whole day in their room with the controller in their hand. Games are good, in moderation.
