Some people may agree that gaming is the most enjoyable
activities when we are not working. In reality, there are two types of gaming,
traditional and modern games. Both have positive and negative sides on
children. To get a closer look about it, I provide the following ideas.
Traditional games indirectly develop children's
communication skill. It is due to most traditional games require face to face
communication. As their communication skill develops, they are likely to be a
sociable and friendly person in their society. This is in line with the nature
of human being. To complete a particular task, one might need others. Because traditional
games improve children’s communication skill, it is widely used by educators. Equally,
modern games are somewhat beneficial for children to develop particular skill, computer
literacy, from which they will be a competitive workers in information
technology era. Furthermore, children get a chance to experience the high end technology,
shaping their awareness of innovation rather than stay conservative.
However, as the saying goes “nothing
endures except change.” No matter how wonderful
certain traditional game is, the same without any innovation will lose attraction
among young people sooner or later. Meanwhile, modern games are
developed by game companies for the purpose of profits. Therefore, there is a
risk that children may be exposed to unhealthy contents, such as violence or
pornography, arranged in the games by such companies to secure financial
survival
