Are video games good for you?

Fabricated Blame

Fabricated Blame

We can't talk about whether video games are benificial or not without addressing the elephant in the room, so here's a sad fact for you; In 2021 there were 38 school shootings, roughly 72% of them were unjustly blamed or weakly connected to video games. When it come to solid evidence though zero cases have any at all. (Sawchuck, 2022). My presntation will cover whether video games do more harm than good and hopefully by the end I can show you how I feel about this topic

The numbers

It isn't like video games are a small thing anymore either In an article by Snider (2021), "Two-thirds of Americans, 227 million, play video games." and it isn't like it's mostly kids the research actually shows the opposite to quote again "80% of video game players in the U.S. are over 18."

According to this study, action games involve high-speed gameplay and contain objects that quickly pop in and out of the visual field. They seem to have the broadest benefits to perceptual and attentional abilities (L., n.d). " These all seem helpful not like something that could cause violence in people.
