Bad or good? Do they make you dumb or do they promote other types of thinking? Do MMO's (which have an economy) promote economic thought? Is it possible to be addicted and have a girlfriend/social life?

Bad or good? Do they make you dumb or do they promote other types of thinking? Do MMO's (which have an economy) promote economic thought? Is it possible to be addicted and have a girlfriend/social life? Did you know that Doctors use Playstation in order to relax and warm up their hands before surgery? This was when PS2 was in her prime. Video games also help hand and eye coordination, as well as eye reflexes which also promotes eye strengthening. MMO (such as FFXI) helped me understand supply and demand, to the point in which I myself could control certain aspects of the economy by various items (buying and selling) Because MMOs have realistic game play (such as economy) they can become very addicting. Again with FFXI, there was actual death rates in Japan and China because lack of nutrients (food and sun) and sleep. A game like FFXI can easily take the reality away from a person because the game in a sense is real, real enough to make fake money, become popular, have a social life, and the demand of time consuming responsibilities needed in order to succeed in the game. |
