Do not you realize about every
parent of this globalization whom a way to make their children have positive
and negative in their habit ? it is started from a computer. In my opinion, The
computer has changed their children. They choose to play on the computer
instead of playing with their friends.
Why? Because the computer provides many games to make the children will try
every game till they feel bored and change to another game. Then, they spend
much money which is for game by game on internet or they rent a disc and instal
the games to their computer. That become a problem your health even death.
I am wondering why they gave
up their money for some games to get their satisfied. In this occasion, I write
some benefit and shortage of games with the case of the game users. Increasingly
cheapness Internet connections make online gaming has mushroomed in Indonesia,
especially big city. Narrow land to play more and support the development of
online games which makes the case to the users.
First case, In 2007, a
13-years boy, His name was Dinh who had killed a 81 years old woman and
stealing her money to fund online games. Vietnam police reported that the
grandmother was tied up with mine, and buried in a pile of sand in front of his
house. Due to his age, he was not sent to prison, but to re-education camps
where he would be released if he was good behavior.
Second cases, Tyrone
Spellman (27), He played a long time with his X – box. When 17-month-old
daughter pulled some wires and turned his X – box to the ground, it was broken,
Tyrone became absolutely furious. Tyrone hit her with the power of the
'fractured skull several times' autopsy also revealed a broken arm that was not
known to social workers two weeks earlier.
Third cases, After his
mother and father took the “Halo 3” tapes away from him, Daniel Petric's
17-year-old to open the safe where the tape was. In the safe also contained a
9mm pistol. then He took the game with his gun and came into the room where her
parents were, they were asked to close their eyes because he had a surprise for
them, and then shot her mother and father's head. The father survived with
critical injuries, but she died instantly.
I will talk about the
positive and negative impacts that may arise this game both in terms of health
and other effects.
Positive
effects
1. Each
game has a level of difficulty / different level. Generally the game is
equipped trinkets weapons, ammunition, characters and maps different game. To
complete a level or defeat enemies efficient strategies are needed. Playing
online games to train players to be able to win the game quickly, efficiently
and produce more points.
2. Increasing
concentrations. Concentration of online game players the ability to rise as
they have to complete some tasks and try to look for loopholes that might be
skipped and monitor the course of the game. The more difficult a game it will
be increasingly necessary high level of concentration.
3. Improving
coordination of hand and eye. Research conducted at Manchester University and
Central Lanchashire University stated that people who play games 18 hours a
week, or about two and a half hours per day will improve coordination between
eye and hand.
4. improve
the ability to read the behavior of Finland Univesity states that games improve
reading skills in children psychology. So opinions stating that these types of
games lower the child's interest in reading is unreasonable.
5. Improve
English speaking skills. A study found that gamers have the English language
skills are better but do not take courses during school or college. This is
because a lot of the story is told in English and sometimes they chat with
other players from different countries.
Negative
effects
1. Strong
addiction
Most of the games currently available
are designed to be addictive players. when someone getting addicted to a game
then the game makers will benefit from the increased purchasing gold / tool /
character increases. But this is precisely the advantage manufacturers produce
negative effect on the psychological health of game players.
2. Games
led to do negative things
Although there are not many but quite
often we come across cases of online game players who tried to steal another
player ID in various ways. Then take the money in it or dismantle equipment
that is expensive. Activity is usually stolen ID theft continues on other
accounts like facebook, email using the key logger, software cracking and
others. Form of theft is not limited to theft of ID and passwords but also
could lead to the theft of money, though usually not a lot (of the tuition fees
for example) and theft of time, such as skipping school to play games.
3. Forget
the obligations
Attachment to task completion time in
the game and pleasure to play it often makes various activities neglected.
Worship time, tasks at school, at college or job duties to be abandoned due to
play games or think about it. Moreover, a lot of games that continue to run
even when you offline.
4. Waste
of money
The money to pay rent and buy a computer
in a cybercafe gold / points / characters sometimes value could reach millions
of dollars. Not to mention an internet connection, and upgrading computer
applications at home.
5. Games
detrimental to health
when someone is sitting continuously in
front of the computer for hours that will be a negative impact on the body.
Impact
on health
Eye
strain
Eye
strain is eye fatigue due to excess use of eyes, see the same objects
continuously as computer screens, TVs, microscopes and driving. In the online
games in addition to looking at the monitor continuously, rarely blinking eyes
that will also add to fatigue.
Hemorrhoid
Sitting
for long periods can disrupt blood circulation and pressing the veins around
the anus, causing bulging veins that feels hot and sore called hemorrhoids.
Lowering
metabolism
Sitting
too long without exercise makes muscles did not result in decreased metabolic
activity. In the long term effects include decreased muscle mass, obesity, the
immune system making it more susceptible to disease.
These
effects are actually caused by the above is not limited to online gaming, but
also can occur in the majority of people who play games or game consoles to
smart phones because basically most of the game was made so that the players
want to play it repeatedly and addiction, but the impact greater gamers online
because of the high level of addiction.
