According to several studies, women are now making up a significant portion of the gaming demographic, but the industry hasn’t done much to make them feel welcome. During the last decade, the mainstream video game industry has seemed to operate under the same apparent assumptions: girls don’t play big action games, boys like the sexualization of girls in video games and won’t play as a female character unless she is heavily sexualized, and that girls play video games for the attention of boys. These assumptions are what allows the gaming industry to continue to focus on their male players, particularly young men, despite the fact that the number of women playing games today may someday soon rival the number of men.

Bacigalupa’s drew a conclusion that social development is hindered by video games especially when compared to other activities as well that parents should give children better alternatives. This is an extreme reflection on video games effects on young children, which has positive and negatives aspects. During Piaget’s preoperational stage, where these children fall into, a child is said to start to understand the world with words and images. If video games are not reality based, or portray extreme fantasy, and even violence, children might take the incoming data as how to behave in real life. Therefore, there needs to be a caregiver monitoring the video games being played. The children in this stage are also egocentric only beginning to see other people’s viewpoints.

I’ve been playing video games and watching various forms of animation for years. I started to play video games on my Sega Genesis, like Sonic the Hedgehog and Phantasy Star. From then on, I advanced in gaming platforms and experienced games from Nintendo since the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and from Sony on the first PlayStation. I spent countless hours playing video games. However, I also spent a fair amount of time watching animation. I’d wake up on Saturday mornings to watch shows like Pokémon and Dragon Ball. Additionally, there was the occasional marathon of Disney VHS tapes.

In today’s society, the concerns for the effects of video games have acquired quite a terrible reputation. Worried parents around the world assume video games make their children do poorly in school, and create violent, desensitized, antisocial children. The increase in violent games, usually get the blame for aggressive behavior, shootings and violence in schools and young individuals. Most beliefs about video games effect on the brain and emotions are very common misconceptions. I strongly believe that video games are an essential tool to learning and gaining much-needed skills. When people look at the studies that have been done on video games and the brain, it will be apparent that some myths about video games have been blown out of proportion. It has come to my attention that there are studies that prove the negative effects of video games may only last the duration of game play. Kids can improve in general knowledge with educational video games like Leap Frog. Video games can train specific areas of the brain as well as increase brain flexibility and memory. Gaming actually has more beneficial effects than negative effects. Video games are excellent educational implement used in elementary schools.

The first video games appeared in the 1960s.[1] They were played on massive computers connected to vector displays, not analog televisions. Ralph H. Baer conceived the idea of a home video game in 1951. In the late 1960s, while working for Sanders Associates, Baer created a series of video game console designs. One of these designs, which gained the nickname of the 1966 "Brown Box", featured changeable game modes and was demonstrated to several TV manufacturers, ultimately leading to an agreement between Sanders Associates and Magnavox.[2]

Games are something based on entertainment and enjoyment. But they have the tendency to offer you valuable things like peace, relaxation and happiness without having to spend anything other than time.

And now the modern children rely only on online games and mobile applications. This development is common. But the ones who enjoyed to their heart’s content would surely be the middle ones, who lived in late 1970s to the mid 1990s. For them, games are not just games. They are known to have lived in the century of fantasy. Arcade games are one among them, which made them fantasize.

With an estimated total of 1.23 billion people worldwide spending an hour a day, on average, playing video games (Berenson, 2015), research has increased rapidly on what effects this will have on society. Contrary to popular belief, experts posit that video games can be used as powerful tools which not only improves mental health, but alleviate pain, cure phobias and treat dementia as well. More surprisingly, research from New Mexico found that puzzle/logic games can stimulate neurogenesis (growth of new neurons) and connectivity in the brain regions responsible for spatial orientation, memory formation and strategic planning, as well as, fine motor skills (Bergland, 2013).

Video games are one of the most popular entertainments in our modern societies, and one of the best media of choice, targeting people from different varieties and ages.

Video games are ubiquitous in modern life. It has not only been a source of entertainment, but also played an important role in a child growth and brain development. Many parents have a bad perspective towards video games, they consider it as a devil that corrupts mind and engages their child into non-productive, virtual, and harmful environment. Hence, they try to stop them completely from playing games by all means. This kind of attitude and behavior from the parent might not only effect their relationship with their child, but also deprive the child from advantages of playing video games that enhance brain power. Therefore, parents should allow their children engage with video games in reasonable amount.
