do you mean that you feel when you think. your pastor is. stopping no one is more popular than. rock and religion clash that brings many parallels to light. martha to release some of your reconcilable current. rock'n'roll storage june 17th t.w. . gamers are spotty pale looking nerds who have no friends and waste their time on stupid online games that make you aggressive and drive you crazy 5 major prejudices about gaming and how much truth lies behind them i would topic today on jim.

there are some 2200000000 gamers worldwide almost one in 3 people regularly play on their smartphone computer or gaming console nevertheless prejudices about gamers 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 will be. in real life but there's no scientific evidence to prove this for example a study by oxford university showed that the contents of a 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 video game 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 what we were surprised by is that an activities i was so by society. really conceived as a tool waste of time could have positive effects on something as fundamental as how well you can. psychologist simona from the monks planck institute has found that playing computer games regularly can even make parts of the brain ground. good finding and have become the main 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 us mata 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 you season has been official effects so you don't have to going to have basement 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

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. and it got worse at some stage i go 3 days without sleeping all i do is drink smoke cigarettes and play. now he's aged $21.00 but for 5 years he spent endless hours playing operation 7. he lost 40 kids 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 4 to 6 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 play. 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 lowness prejudice number 3 gamers. but if you look at the big industry events that doesn't seem to be true at all thousands of like minded people come together

at games com or e-sports events to party and have a good time together in a recent survey 3 out of 5 british gamers said 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 a popular game fortnight battle royal players can also get together with other gamers and play as a team 15 year old moritz is one of many fortnight fans he links up with his friends on sky playing. golf. lots of people play for tonight there are plenty of gamers 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 too with many people even uploading videos of themselves imitating fortnights famous dances many of these clips went viral my favorite is the flaws. or something like this so gaming is all about community but who actually plays prejudice number for the game a scene is made i mean aided and hostile to women. 2014 male gamers set up the game again hash tag and started to arrest 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 gang. figures in the male dominated gaming scene. most major games are still developed for an all male audience while only 20 percent of game developers are 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 don't even consider this line of work and rule it out from the start. that the number of female gain is does not justify this discrepancy in fact estimates indicate that they are just as many female as male player but men tend to prefer the big blockbuster games while females go for casual and mobile games.

it's a 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. mike horizons 0 dawn with female protagonist alloyed grows up in a matriarchal society. uncharted the last legacy with 2 female lead characters at the heart of the 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 of 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. it changed it dramatically because it made me a participant with my students i am others their teacher i'm their gangmaster i control the fun of the classroom. the 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. with class craft or does it make it seem like oh. so you're probably going to 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's. in. 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 pattern this is about gaming doesn't make people aggressive there's no evidence to show that shooters make anyone go on a 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 but 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 let us know 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.
