Video Games ARE Good

By Noah Pila

Have you ever wondered why you flinch when someone looks like they are throwing a ball at you? The reason why is because you aren't playing video games. According to research, people who have played video games get bigger brains which improves their organization skills. Additionally, video games improve your reaction time and help you to be more aware of your everyday surroundings. Another reason that video gaming can help you be prepared is because you need creativity to be successful. That is why everybody knows video gaming helps you to get better at life.

Do you believe that videogames can help your brain grow? One study shows people playing "Super Mario 64'' proved that they grew in a part of their brain by showing that there was a "rise in gray matter in the right hippocampus" (Guraini). Also people who were in the study showed better "memory formation, strategic planning and fine motor skills in the hands" (Guraini). That means video gamers are becoming better at certain things.

Video gaming not only helps your brain grow, but can grow your creativity. For example, "one study found that playing video games helped increase creativity in children" (Devnath). Video games help with creativity when you have to build games, or when you have to play in a mode with other players.

Parents stop grounding your kids from their gaming consoles, instead ground them from their phones.
