1. Computer games develop fast thinking, learning, reaction.
I think it’s true because children have to analyze the situation in the game and invent the best options, for
example, where the character of the game should go or how to drive the car correctly. It must be done
quickly.
I don’t agree. Real situations and knowledge are different from computer ones.
2. Computer games lead to social problems.
People who use the Net and play games a lot sometimes can’t find friends in real life and feel comfortable
at parties, in the classroom and so on. They are too shy and can’t mix with people.
But they can find friends on the Net and partners for their computer games. They can be very popular in the
social nets.
3. Computer games make children be aggressive.
I suppose it depends on the person. Some people say that such games help to delete negative emotions.
It’s right because usually aggressive boys are interested in these games. They become more violent.
4. Repetitive tasks in games make children less intelligent.
It’s nonsense because the games have got many options and you must make decisions in the other
situations. Games may help memory, abstract thinking.
I agree with the statement. You always do the same things, only the pictures change but the task is the
same: you must fight or kill or drive somewhere. It does not help to be cleverer.
5. Children can become dependent on games.
He does not go for a walk of learn well, he just plays. He does not want to do anything else.
It depends on your friend. He is not interested in studying, people, communication. It’s his problem , not the
problem of games.
6. Computer games are one of the most important factors in developing children’s IQ. (Researchers show the
present people have IQs 15 points higher above their parents).
