RE: Do Video Games Make You Violent?

in #psychology7 years ago

I Noticed an Instance About Human behaviour and video games recently. I was a big video game addict when I was a kid. I would play counter strike, Call of duty and many more like these and keep playing until I clear all the levels or Become a Pro so that I can beat all of my friends.
I remained so much absorbed by them all the times during my childhood that I wouldn't care which relative has come to visit us, or if my family was calling me for something or to just join them and sit with them to have a little talk.
My Nephew has come to visit us recently and I share a deep bond with him. So I was pretty much excited to see him.
After a few minutes on reaching our home, he started playing His favourite Football game in his Tablet.
I asked him to go for a walk in the evening so that we could talk a little bit about our life, his school, and anything else. But he said he would be bored if he go on a walk and he is much more excited about his game as he is on a new level. So he denied my offer.
I felt pretty bad abouf it, but After a few moments I remembered that I was exactly the same. I would not care who has come to visit us. It was just that technology wasn't developed so much then that I could Carry my desktop to other's home and play there.
Our adults just want to spend some time with us. Which we don't get because we are kids and how the hell are we supposed to understand that, we are almost foolish at that time and would do certain erratic things that might hurt them.
Wish I could have understood it when I was a child, so that Instead of the Game memories That I still have, I would have memories with people that are now not in this world. Guess this is what I think about video games and human behaviour.

Sort:  

You are absolutely right. Video game addiction is a big problem in today's younger generation and technology has made it possible by not only creating an immersive experience but have made it portable so you could enter that world at any time.

I think this sort of behaviour is upto the parents to correct in their children. If they are allowed to do as they wish, it can really have long term effects in this case.

That's true, parents have to work out to find our ways to drop video games and socialise more, which is actually quite difficult.

u right all things but.. all about what the parents do! Video game addiction bcs of parents..

That might be.
