a reminder of where we've come from and what we should aim to do in the past decade the video games market has been crazy those short few years have truly been a quantum leap in terms of the technology and the experiences we offer people. according to a business development manager of today of the turnover in today's online games market in russia is about one billion dollars and it's showing no signs of slowing down. the alternatives of reality is an interesting concept the idea has been bounced around for the past twenty years it implies that there is a brighter layer set apart from dull gray world which exists only inside the human brain we get connected to this virtual reality by means of a computer or potentially through some other interface like virtual reality headset games are just another facet of this from. psychologists are wary of the advance of this new alternative reality their observations suggest that online games can

provoke heightened levels of aggression particularly shooting games. if a person gets used to certain reactions will become the norm for him as long as everything is ok in his life he keeps them in remote areas of his personal life he can separate different areas of reality but if for example tomorrow will be some sort of tragedy or some sort of anger or aggression in this person's life that can become a trigger that will mix up all these realities. psychiatry just however have a different argument they don't see a direct link between aggression in games and in real life. it is unusually ready to stab someone with a knife then a computer game is not to be blamed he is ready to stab someone with a knife regardless of computer games but the murderers of the one nine hundred centuries for example didn't play any games on the p.c. but still murder their victims. the gamers themselves are not concerned with such

arguments their goal is simple they just want to win. at the polls i think it's just a myth made up by people by parents who say that their child spends too much time on the computer but says that it's too violent or whatever. but that's just nonsense it's a myth. but it is not a myth for the folk in family in kiev elaina. is a manager at a printing company she has two children twelve year old alexander and seven year old alexy their mother raises them alone but spends most of her time at work eventually her son alexander became totally immersed in online games and lost all track of the time he spent on the internet.

mother has no time to control the situation psychologists who believe that because of alexander intellects he's violent behavior at such a young age they could end up as criminals in later life. doing too well there. i have several pictures here the younger brother alexei was drawing a tree but he ended up drawing an x. . in this picture alexander house but he finished drawing an x. now you could have doubts about it but the boy took that piece of paper and began using it as an x. . but of the most computer. these are the systems computer computers all of us dozens of them. yet so you. bet i did say was that.
3:36 am
alexander has been raised by his mother who had one point missed out on his upbringing and when she had the chance to take the situation under her control she failed to do so and it seems to me that she didn't do it because she doesn't want to. as a result a harsh outlook on life took root in the boy's impressionable but unchallenged minds yet. twenty nine year old lawyer for a moscow pharmaceutical company dimitri vinogradova spent many hours playing violent computer games on november seventh two thousand and twelve she took two shotguns to work it took just eighteen seconds for him to shoot all of his colleagues down in cold blood six people died. when a crowd favorite game was manhunt now banned in many european countries.

3:39 am
something to do with addiction but i can easily show you addicted people without any changes in their brain. this is the singular gyrus i'm indicating it with a cursor here it is it's pretty big. it's responsible for developing addictions but we don't know yet to what extent. we should. tell you the truth i've never wanted to use something i learned from the games in practice or in real life that is to say if there's a fight in a game that i don't feel the urge to take the gun and shoot someone in the head. a little for me there is a. distinct boundaries between reality and what's on screen. when they see a star n.p.r. and screen it means i can't. give it sounds reality is
