Unfortunately some of children play them all day without taking a break or speaking with other people. This essay will describe the negative and positive effects of playing computer games every day on young people, and then compare them. The young can learn educational subjects from playing games. For example, they can learn problem-solving skills. If they cannot finish a stage in a game, they have to think of how to play it to finish the stage and to try it again. If they still cannot finish the stage, they have to think of another method. Furthermore, some computer games are for education and through playing these games, children can learn math and spelling. However, negative effects of playing computer games every day are often researched and discussed. Firstly, playing games every day for a long time is unhealthy for the young. In my opinion, children should play sports outside, which make them healthy. Subsequently, playing games every day may cause bad eye sights. Moreover, playing games may make adolescents aggressive. Young people are developing and don’t have appropriate moral values. Children enjoy the sense of accomplishment when they kill a character, then they can become violent or might not recognize the differences between real and virtual worlds. I Japan...

...As almost any gamer can tell you, video games are apparently on the rise of popularity while every other medium of entertainment and leisure including music, movies, television, books, magazines and newspapers are on the decline. This was given in a speech by Activisions Mike Griffith at the 2009 consumer’s electronic show. Here the question arises, is this true? Are consoles more popular than computer games nowadays? The battle has long waged between different gamer types which is better, console or PC?but we can all keep trying. Console gaming appears to be on the rise according to a new report from market research firm Nielsen. The data came from Nielsen’s sample of 12,000 television using households in the US, which found that although the number of “television households” has only risen by 1.6%,the number of game consoles in those households has risen by 18.5% in the same period of time. Moreover by the end of 2006 there were 45 million homes with the console and 148 million people had access to at least one system. The use of connected consoles-consoles that connect to the internet has grown steadily over the years to 4 million even before the introduction of PlayStation 3 and Wii in late 2006.Systems such as PlayStation 2, XBOX and XBOX 360 appear to have made connected consoles commonplace in the home and online gaming services are becoming more popular than ever, as evidenced by the success of Microsoft’s Xbox live service.

...Computer Games PC games, also known as computer games, are video games played on a general-purpose personal computer rather than a dedicated video game console or arcade machine. Their defining characteristics include a lack of any centralized controlling authority and greater capacity in input, processing, and output. PC games reached widespread popularity following the video game crash of 1983, particularly in Europe, leading to the era of the "bedroom coder". From the mid-90s onward they lost mass-market traction to console games before enjoying a resurgence in the mid-2000s through digital distribution. The uncoordinated nature of the PC game market and its lack of physical media make precisely assessing its size difficult. Although personal computers only became popular with the development of the microprocessor and microcomputer, computer gaming on mainframes andminicomputers had previously already existed. OXO, an adaptation of tic-tac-toe for the EDSAC, debuted in 1952. Another pioneer computer game was developed in 1961, when MIT students Martin Graetz and Alan Kotok, with MIT student Steve Russell, developed Spacewar! on a PDP-1 mainframe computer used for statistical calculations.[3] The first generation of computer games were often text adventures or interactive fiction, in which the player communicated with the computer by entering commands through a keyboard. An early text-adventure, Adventure, was developed for the PDP-11 minicomputer by Will Crowther in 1976...

An objective is a goal that an individual or a team works toward to attain the end target. My objective for this particular research activity is to investigate different ways and ideas the business company Game station uses to improve creativity to attract customers.

Therefore my research methods will consist of research from the internet and various websites. Game station provides customer service through numerous branches around the UK.
