Entry Number6

Entry number6:Video games can be a way to switch off our mind and let our imagination flow, because when you play you are in somebody else’s skin. It is easier to be someone you could never be in the real world. From this point of view, I think video gaming is a good therapy but is not difficult to go from playing once or twice a week, to spend most of the day in front of the screen. The addiction to a video game can cause the same damage that any other addiction. You can reach the point in which you no longer control your life and lose everything you care about. Therefore, it is safer to leave video games only for entertainment and not for escaping from your problems.

I do not enjoy playing video games but I recognize that they have a great influence on young people. They are usually criticized because they depict violent scenes but they can be used as a tool for learning something, since there are many educational video games. Many games are in English so you have to learn what the words mean in order to continue playing.
A comparison is made between rock and roll and video games because they are said to influence young people. This fact is not true because if you control what you do you wont do what something tells you to do. What is true is that video games will be with us for a long time and will become increasingly real.
