What I didn’t know was that some of the pro video game arguments is that video games do just as much to improve hand eye coordination and focus as they do in stimulating any emotions at all. Emotions are argued to be temporary and circumstantial to the usage of the game at hand. The learned hand eye coordination and other characteristics stay with you beyond the game. What is arguably bad about games, and I would agree, is that in many cases it may cause very bad social affects. Kids lose the experience of social interactions and can only relate to what they’ve observed with no first hand examples from their own lives. Many parents and government agencies have tried to ban games or make them change their content, but there have been a series of successful first amendment defenses that have protected games and their rights to make content to an audience deemed competent. The main argument for the cases I saw were that the only way to handle the problem is to limit child access to violent games, and let them grow into more mature subjects. Let them grow and develop with harmless productive games with a reasonable amount of focus and attention.
