Best Answer

Yes and No. (This is for eyes.) It is bad depending on how dark it is. For example if you play Video Games at night and the only real main source of light is coming from the tv. (Clocks and Light coming from under the door, etc arent good enough to count) Then yes it is bad for your eyes. If you have a fan light or a desk light etc, on while playing it is no problem for your eyes. The best time to play is during the day when natural light huts your eyes. If your eyes hurt or water, take a half am hour break!

Can video games harm you?

If you play video games too much then yes it can harm you. it is proven that the longer you play video and watch TV, the better your chances are of getting poor grades. it also hurts your physical, social, and emotional health. You can't lose weight by playing video games (unless its the wii or kinect), most video games are one player games so you don't interact with people, and you can start wishing your life would become more like the game which can cause you to hate your life and get depressed. But be sure to remember, this only happens if you play video games A LOT. Playing them only an hour a day isn't bad.


Are video games bad for your health and brain?

Video games can actually be very good for your health and brain. They are shown to improve vision, memory, mental fitness, physical fitness, and can treat a variety of mental disorders including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. There are many "bad" things video games can do to your health, so a player must always be cautious. However, every complaint can be prevented by changing the way you play. Obesity, for example, can be prevented by changing the kind of game you play, and the frequency at which you play. As for mental health, video games have a good reputation across the board. There is little evidence to suggest that video games decrease brain activity. Many are educational, and almost all create new pathways in the brain that can actually prevent conditions like dementia and Alzheimers. Essentially, video games can be bad for your health and brain when used incorrectly. However, when used properly they can be an excellent asset.

Is it bad for children to play games on the computer?

People say violent video games can be bad for your health, that is somewhat true. If you sit or lay down playing video games a day you can gain more weight because you aren’t moving around. Yet those are some people's jobs they sit down and make or even test video games all day long. I believe that if you just take the time to learn how long and hard it is to make those games you will see that it’s not easy. So next time you say that it’s bad for you to just sit and play video games, just remember that it is someone's job.


Why are video games bad for you?

If you do not play video games obsessively and do not sit overly near the screen then you are fine. The physical symptoms are that it can hurt your eyes when playing video games. Many scientists have tried to link video games with violence but they have drawn up the wrong conclusions. They believe violent video games leads to a violent way of life but that has not been solely tested and therefore the results are inconclusive If your not playing video games 10 hours a day or something its not bad. If you do and don't eat healthy at least you will be FAT, and have bad eyes. If you don't play to much they are good for you because you get better hand eye coordination. Also they can make you very HAPPY!!


Should people play video games if they have a bad heart?

They should still play video games but only the right games. There are a lot of games that give players a rush of adrenaline from the fast pace. A person with a bad heart should probably play games that are more relaxing. There is a video game company devoted to making relaxing games called That Game Company. They made three downloadable games for the PS3, called Flow, Flower, and Journey. Each are very profound and surreal, giving a soothing yet deep emotional experience.
