If we compare watching TV for 3 hours and playing computer games
for 3 hours I can say the latter is much better. When you watch TV
you just sit there and do nothing while your eyes absorb all the
information on screen and your brain becomes inactive. Playing
computer games, however, offers your mind interactive content as
you are able to plan moves and co-operate with team members in
first person shooter and real time strategy games or role playing
games. You are also more active in FPS games
and your hand-eye coordination plus attention span increases as you
lie in wait for the enemy to appear to snipe him down. You will
also improve your reflexes during a fast game.
