Are Computer Games a Good Thing or a Bad Thing?

        Many people, including me play computer games.  These can consist of advanced games like “Sudden Attack,” or even simple games like “Solitare.”  These games take up a lot of people’s time.  Is this a good thing or a bad thing?  Most people say it is a good thing, but that is mainly because they like to play computer games.  They have no reason as to why it is good.  Others, mostly people who dislike electronics and are more focused or reading and hobbies, say it is a bad thing to play computer games. 
In my opinion, computer games are a good thing if they are played appropriately, but can be bad if they are played to take up most of the person’s time.  You need a computer time limit.  The reason as to why computer games are good, in my opinion, is that the newer generations of people are becoming more reliable on electronics, whether it is for job related purposes, or just because the person wants to create their own video.  The ability to play or download a computer game allows you to fiddle with the computer, thus giving you the chance to become more into the computer and its properties.  This in turns allows you to be able to work a computer very well.

Working a computer is very important to know these days because everything revolves around some sort of electronic device, usually a computer.  To know how to work one is a great tool to use when you are at work.  This will lead to faster working hours and a more efficient day.  Computers are vitally important in the modern day world.

Why does this bring us to the fact that playing computer games is a good thing?  Well, when you are playing a computer game, you use the computer.  This can lead you to do other things out of curiosity of the computer’s functions.  If a pop up comes up, you will eventually learn to control it.  if there is no internet, you will find a way to get online.  I know many people that can work some sort of hack to get into the internet easily.  To know how to do all these things, even if you are just playing a game, can help you learn and control a computer, which is, what I have mentioned many times before, a vital key to survive in the modern world. 

Computers come in all sorts, from gaming computers, to work computers, to all around laptops.  And while I have said that playing computer games is a good thing, there is a limit to it.  If you are playing computer games for over five or six hours a day, you should consider doing something more efficient with your time.  However playing that much will make you extremely good with the computer, you should just stick to at most three hours a day of computer games.  Another thing is if someone spends a huge amount of money to buy a top of the line gaming computer, which has features that you don’t even need or will use, then this can be a problem.  Wouldn’t you rather spend your money on something that you would need, like food? A top of the like laptop can cost thousands of dollars, but all you really need to spend is about one thousand.  And that is still pretty high in price.  A laptop should not be only bought for gaming purposes.  It should be considered as an all around laptop.  For speed, good connection, and working purposes too.  This is why I believe that playing and focusing on computer games too much, can be a bad thing.  Gaming is still good, just when you have a limit.
