and games remain rampant we want to take a close look at the 5 most prejudice number one shooter games make you aggressive the assumption is that if you kill other people in the game you'll be more violent in real life but there's no scientific evidence to prove this for example a study by oxford university showed that the contents of the game don't make you aggressive but frustrating game mechanics to experts at hamburg's university clinics say people who play action games do not behave more aggressively in the long run other studies show that playing a lot of violent games can leave you emotionally numb but there is no evidence that violent games make someone more prone to violence so how do our brains really react when we play shoot us. that's exactly what daphne from the university of geneva wants to find out she has people play 1st person shooters while hooked up to

a magnetic resonance imaging scanner and the results show that in some ways games can lead to structure changes in the brain and in action players we know that the structures change and change for the better they communicate better with each other such that for them paying attention is less effort for. well we were surprised by that and activities i was so dim in the eyes by society. really conceived as a tool waste of time could have positive effects on something as fundamental as how well you take. psychology simona from the monks planck institute has found that playing computer games regularly can even make parts of the brain ground. give finding a magical compass the brain regions affected are the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex they play a role in spatial orientation like when you're thinking about getting from a to b.

so by stimulating these regions to a large extent they grow in volume. does that mean gaming makes a smarter and we should spend endless hours playing. i'm afraid not what our work shows is that you basically need to play about 35 minutes per day 5 days a week and you do that regularly and new season has been official effects so you don't have to go into your business and hide and play for hours on end actually that may actually be counter productive so not only what you play but also for how long is important i used to love adventure games like maniac mansion they don't cause aggression but i often forgot the time because the game world was simply too exciting that brings us to prejudice number 2. gaming can become addictive no wonder after all you hear about shocking cases like this one.

you don't even notice you're getting hooked. and suddenly you're addicted. i only realized that when it was too late. i went from playing 4 hours a day to 8 hours. at some stage i go 3 days without sleeping all i do is drink smoke cigarettes and play. and now he's aged $21.00 but for 5 years he spent endless hours playing operation 7 and. he lost 40 kilos over that period and dropped out of school without passing his final exams. i enjoyed competing against other gamers i wanted to be better than them it made me feel powerful. i get 46 hours of sleep per night max i was walking around like a zombie. neurobiologists have found out that the gaming addicts brain reacts to

a screenshot of his favorite game in a similar way alcoholics brain reacts when he sees a beer when you win the game it gives you a real rush and in order to experience this feeling again and again you just keep on playing doctor an expert on addiction knows just how common this problem is. about one percent are addicted to games that doesn't sound like a huge number but it's comparable to other psychological conditions we've known about for a long time and so gaming can be addictive but does gaming make people loan us credit is number 3 game. but if you look at the big industry events that doesn't seem to be true at all thousands of like minded people come. to gather at games com or e-sports events to party and have a good time together in a recent survey 3 out of 5 british game

a set they play mainly to keep in touch with their friends my nephew for example met his 1st girlfriend playing league of legends which like so many games is all about team play take fortnight for example. $100.00 players and whoever manages to survive wins that's the basic idea behind the popular game fortnight battle royale players can also get together with other gamers and play as a team 15 year old moritz is one of many 4000 fans he links up with his friends on sky playing. the old fault. it's not 2 people play fortnight there are plenty of k.m.'s it's really fun. it seems many would agree fortnight is currently one of the most popular computer games in the world. in its heyday more than 10000000 gamers were playing fortnight at the same time. the games left

a lasting cultural legacy with many people even uploading videos of themselves imitating fortnights famous dances many of these clips went viral my favorite. for something like this so gaming is all about community but who actually plays prejudice number for the game a scene is made i mean they did and hostile to women and 2014 made a game of the game i gave hash tag and started to arrest female game designers online this went on for months and there were even rape and death threats things appear to have improved since then but many games still seem to show women in a strange light. it's pretty common to see female computer game characters portrayed as scantily clad sex objects whatever their role in the game. is in the male dominated gaming scene. most major games

are still developed for an all male audience only 20 percent of game develop is a women. and you know. this is because many of the jobs require technical qualifications we've made a mistake all these years of telling girls and young women forget about tech jobs you're not cut out for this kind of work. this way they didn't even consider this line of work from the start. although the number of female gain is does not justify this discrepancy in fact estimates indicate that there are just as many female as. men tend to prefer the big blockbuster games. casual and move. the fact women. play games and that's why they should be developing games too they

could help create games that appeal to women. the latest installment of the tomb raider adventure game series in the case that things are changing in older versions the main protagonist lara croft used to sport a very skimpy outfit. but now she's a real adventure with much more modest clothing. more and more games now feature complex female characters. like horizon 0 dawn where female protagonist alloyed grows up in a matriarchal society. or uncharted the last legacy with 2 female lead characters at the heart of a gripping action adventure story. both games have sold millions of copies so it seems that games don't need sexy female lead characters to appeal to consumers.

so simply love exciting stories and intelligent as attainment or does our 5th prejudice hold true prejudice number 5 games are a total waste of time gaming just a waste of time and money well there are plenty of examples to show that isn't true . school kids in atlanta georgia are playing the educational class craft game it resembles a typical fantasy game and is designed to help teachers and encourage students to participate in class. changed it dramatically because it made me a participant with my students i am others their teacher and their game master i control the fun of the classroom. school children can select different avatars in class craft and work together as teams they solve virtual challenges and collect points they can then use them to alter their avatars or move up to a higher level that motivates them to keep learning. crosscut it doesn't make it

seem like. you're probably going into better. and these 3rd graders are using the fun educational software dreambox to help them solve math problems it features game elements and illustrates real world applications. i like it because it. shows like. the math problems grow more difficult as pupils improve that way kids receive the challenges that are best suited to their abilities. so is there any truth to the most common factor this is about gaming doesn't make people aggressive there is no evidence to show that shooters make anyone go on the shooting spree but gaming can be addictive just like alcohol and other drugs and what about the claim that game as. well that's just nonsense the when it comes to gender equality and sexism

there's still room for improvement and is gaming a waste of time. that depends entirely on what you play so what do you think about gaming that has no on d w dot com on our new you tube channel where you'll find explain as more about the latest tech trends gadgets and much more see you next week and goodbye from the.
