Excessive video game playing has been a problem with today’s youth they have had more influences over the youth than ever before. That brings to my attention a question, how do video games affect the youth of our society? Excessive video game playing, especially violent video games, can lead to youth violence, a decrease in academic success and many other negative things. I realize that some parents believe that they can be good for children, I agree but I also disagree in some cases. Some parents allow their children to play video games to keep a social life and to learn how to use strategies. This is true in some cases but not in all cases. For instance, other children that play video games alone and are in their rooms constantly

Effects of Video Games on Children and Teenagers
In recent years, technology has developed very rapidly. This has led to many arguably both positive and negative changes in our everyday lives. One such change was the increased accessibility of personal computers and gaming consoles as well as the introduction of numerous video games. Due to their entertainment value, these games gained popularity among children and teenagers. Although many concerns have been voiced related to playing video games, especially those that are violent, [e.g., increases in aggressive behavior in children (Anderson & Bushman, 2001)], this paper will argue that certain video games also have beneficial effects.
For example, in first person shooting games, players are required to both act quickly and to keep track of multiple factors such as their location, the location and speed of the target. Furthermore, players can move and shoot simultaneously, which increases the difficulty of the task. Our brains receive these inputs from the environment, process all of this information while simultaneously coordinating with our hands and fingertips. This is not an easy task. Indeed, research documents that video-game playing is associated with higher visuospatial abilities (Ferguson, 2007) and better hand-eye coordination (Griffith, Voloschin, Gibb, & Bailey, 1983). This has important real life implications. For example, a study of surgical residents and physicians by Rosser and colleagues (2007) demonstrates a correlation between video game skills and laparoscopic surgical ability (errors made and completion time).
Another category of video games is MMORPG (which stands for massively multiplayer online role-playing game). These games give individuals the opportunity to play with many other people via the Internet.
