Gamerz analysis

40% of my leisure time wasted on gaming!! WHY? is it Good? Who noes rite!!
I shall started with Disadvantage of gaming

1)...Excessive gaming can result in low self-esteem and aggressive attitudes and behaviours such as gambling and stealing to finance play.

2)...Computer games can distract from learning as players concentrate on the objective of completing the game rather than using them as a learning tool. As Clarke (2003) observes; “computer games require the suspension of disbelief, it may be difficult to retain learning acquired in that state.”

3)...Excessive time spent gaming could negatively impact on schoolwork. Computer games may have a negative impact upon impressionable young children who are particularly susceptible to copying behaviours and may struggle to distinguish between reality and a computer generated environment.

4)...Some games which are highly engaging and motivational can become addictive and lead to social isolation low self-esteem and poor social interaction skills.

5)...The majority of computer games are gender specific. The vast majority of games are male orientated and this may alienate female gamers and pupils alike.
