Is Computer Gaming More Good than Bad?

For me, computer gaming is bad. Why? Because computer games give students reasons not go to school instead, they will just play computer games. I have a lot of friends who loves to play computer games, instead of going to class; they cut classes and go to any computer shop and play. Too much use of computers can give bad effects to our eyes. This can cause our blindness or having a bad sight. The worst is having a brain damage

"Computer games are very popular with young people, but they are also controversial. For example, opponents argue that they are harmful to brain development, cause children to neglect reading and encourage violent or anti-social behavior. “Many parents worry about the mind bending influence computer games might have on their children. But one researcher in the United Kingdom has been investigating a much more tangible side effect: computer games can occasionally induce epileptic fits. It's a form of a condition called Photosensitive Epilepsy. Professor Graham Harding and his colleagues at the University of Aston in Birmingham have studied a group of such children and adolescents who had convulsions whilst playing at the computer. Graham Harding: Photosensitive epilepsy is best defined as a tendency to recurrent convulsions, precipitated either by flashing lights or patterns.”

With this reason, computer gaming’s is bad, not just physically but mentally as well.
