Video games are a great pass time, they are highly entertaining and have the benefit of being interactive. This bad behaviour is greatly appreciated by those who may need to let off steam and enjoy killing zombies pretending the zombies are a boss or ex partner etc.Research suggests that long hours spent playing video games can be damaging to an individuals health. The simple reson for this is that they are adictive and some people do not communicate with anyone for hours whilst playing video games. Also some teenagers can forget to eat etc and play games for over twelve hours which is very unhealthy. One has to think of the effect on the brain when one is spending all those hours killing zombies. Recently studies have been done to suggest that reading fiction is very healthy for the brain, it has the opposite effect of playing computer games which can cause depression. Reading can help people to over come depression and to heal the brain. When we read our brain has to function on many levels so it is multi tasking. This helps our imagination grow and our brain develops in ways which we can not even imagine.
