GAMING DOES HELP YOU AT TIMES

To develop a skill in something which you are interested in also helps you use those skills in your daily life. One such sport is gaming. Though it may seem that it has no fundamental use in our day to day life, it shapes our concentration to an extent where we can utilise it for other things.

It is said that non gamers can see 3 to 4 objects at a time and react, gamers can see about 6 to 7 objects at a time and the reaction time is quicker than that of a non gamer. It is seen that those who are socially awkward tend to open up while they play games online. They tend to communicate their whereabouts in the game itself which results in making new friends when there is a team game. The coordination between your eyes and your hands tend to sync according to your brain’s command which results in quick movement and fast reflexes when in the real world and not in the world of simulation and first person shooting. There are many merits in gaming but there are two sides to every coin. As much as how gaming can be useful for body control, increase in concentration, there are also a few demerits to it too.

You can differentiaite gaming as team games and a single player games. Most of this generation games are of team games but there are also a few single player games which many people do play. They tend to be isolated from the social world and are confined to their “gaming chambers” as some people call them.
They do not want to make many friends and frankly their best friend would be the console or the PC they play their games on. There are also health concerns. Many people play for days without sleeping and that leads to sleep deprivation. They do not participate in physical exercise and tend to be a couch potato at home. The more they play, the more the after effect would be. Their eyes gets strained and other problems like RSI.

In every activity we do, there are always some merits and demerits. If we overdo something the body can take a bad hit. Not just in gamng but in anything we do.
Most people think that gaming is a useless activity but it helps us in many ways and its plain fun. But if we overgame then there are certain side effects which we can experience and it wouldn’t be for the good. A friend of mine, Pruthvi Das, who is a gamer and has participated in gaming competitions abroad has a lot of inputs about gaming. He says “these days gaming is considered as an Esport. Few games such as DotA 2 and CSGO are considered so. You could also gain profits from it. Recent studies suggest that gaming is not related to violent breakdown. It strengthens relationships and breaks them too. Gaming is also a great stressbuster. It relieves the mind of any kind of tension, trust me I know. When I study something which I feel is boring and I cant understand, I just game for a while to release the tension in my brain and then I go back to studying (laughs).
To end with what I feel about gaming and I quote ‘Gaming is love. Gaming is life (laughs).

Gaming is something which canot be utilised only for entertainment, it has its usefullness as well and I feel that this Esport is something which can benefit our lives once we see the goodness and usefullness of it.
