Do video games have a negative influence

Catching up with posting online my articles because of being busy with work. I am witting my articles every day as part of my commitment... just posting is lagging...


In this article I will share with you about my personal experiences with the video games. I had some stages in my life when I did play the games intensively but this has never extended over long period of time and it hasn't turned into heavy addiction. But within these periods when I have played the games I have made some observations...

1. I remember that once I was playing a game with building the cities etc. And I played it for few days. But then on the 3rd or 4th day I also continued playing until early morning and after I woke up after few hours I went immediately to the computer. That evening I took my bike and I went to see my friend. On the way I stopped in the traffic and I was looking at the clouds. And I have seen these little soldiers from the game moving in the clouds. I wouldn't say that this was the same experience as seeing white mice which is reported with the crazy people and instead it was that my eyes and my brain have been exposed for too long to the computer screen and this was the result of it. Later I have also noticed seeing the soldiers in the carpet or any other objects with rough surface. In the end these visions have gone once I reduced the hours spent while starring intensely into the computer screen playing the game.

2. I have also noticed that after spending many hours days with the games has changed the way I behave towards other people. I felt that I was kind of rough and cold with them and I was losing the touch with the world which was some kind of separation.

3. While playing the video games I have a tendency to skip the meals and cross the point in which I should have go to sleep and as a result of it I am accumulating tiredness, losing weight and it accelerates wear and tear of my body. All of it puts stress onto my whole body and I know that in the long term it would cause at least mild sickness.

4. But apart from the negatives which are very clear to me I have to also mention that it was so much fun to play the games together with my friends.
