This essay has been written by Roland Simon
It is undeniable that games are fundamental for proper development of our body and mind. I will summarise and evaluate the social nature of games and its evolution in time and space.
Come hell or high water, our ancestors went outside TO PLAY. I take it as read, we all HAVE HEARD their anecdotes about the halcyon days of the period when they were young. The vast expanse of outdoor places used to be a source of unbridled joy. They were less apprehensive about the consequences of their actions. They were so insouciant, they used to swim in treacherous rivers or climb up high trees. Although accidents must have come about, minor injuries were taken for granted. Every moment was imbued with danger and fun. "Who is the fastest?" "Who is the strongest?" The competitive spirit has always been the touchstone of growing up.
Our society is in a state of flux. By and large, today the entire cohort of teenagers do not want to leave their comfort zones. They identify themselves as digital nomads and relish meandering in fantasy realms. This kind of inertia IN contemporary children is frowned upon by adults and they claim that they had a better childhood. A MASS OF evidence attestS the overwhelming beneficial side of video games. Not only does technology entertain us, but it also helps (TO) enhance our cognitive skills. Co-operative online games can lend THEMSELVES to developing social interaction. Many of them have already been embedded with important messages, such as conservation goals. Nowadays, comparED to the video games’ educational possibilities, textbooks and traditional teaching methods appear to be anachronistic.
We are unwilling to go outside, we do not have to do. The geographical boundaries have become irrelevant. We have already been interconnected. Despite the growing tendency TOWARDS alienation, the world HAS left the door ajar.
In conclusion, games have been undergoing a dramatic changes. After you finish a soccer game with your friends online, the chances are YOU WILL DO to do the same thing in your courtyard.
