| Pc (Personal Computer) Negative effects of video games
Aggressiveness: children are increasingly exposed to growing physical and sexual violence present in all media. The violent content of these media may cause childhood aggression (Anderson 2007).
Violence and pornography: video games such as “Grand Thief Auto” and “Call of Duty” for over 18 years, are training children to shoot and kill in a virtual world in which the values of life are lost.
Online multiplayer games are not recommended for children under 13 years because it is in this environment where unhealthy habits (rudeness, bullying , addiction, pornography ) develop, says Andrew Doan, medical PhD, author of “Hooked on Games”.
Attention problems: high speed media content can contribute to attention deficit disorder, as well as decreased concentration and memory (Christakis 2004 , Small 2008). Elementary school children who play video games more than two hours a day were 67 % more likely to develop attention problems, according to a study published in Pediatrics magazine.
Impatience: “New technologies make us more impatient and decrease frustration tolerance. They also relax a part of our brain that has to be worked”, said Alvaro Bilbao, neuropsychologist.
Addiction: the player’s immediate response to stimuli game generates a mini-reward in the form of release of dopamine (pleasure hormone).
These rewards are small injections of energy feeding the engine of compulsion and continuously create a powerful effect, says Dr. Judith Donat (MIT).
Sleep Deprivation: Exceeding exposure to entertainment screens produces sleep problems. Day and night overexposure generates (very vivid) hypnagogic images that usually produce nightmares.
Emission of radiation: in May 2011 , the World Health Organization classified mobile phones and other wireless devices as a class 2B risk (possible carcinogen) due to the emission of electromagnetic radiation.
These are the main advantages and disadvantages of video games. Again:
What matters is the relationship that the child establishes with the technology under adult supervision.
