Video Games and the Youth

As a child, I have seen the development of the different aspects of technology rise up to further modernize the world. One of the modern technology inventions that really took part in my life were video games; it really took part of my life because I love getting entertained, I mean don't we all do? it is a part of life. Video games is a way for me to be inspired with life because it boosts up a part of my needs in life, it is also a way for me to escape reality and relax my self when I indulge to it. One issue that I'd like to discuss would be more on the positive aspects of video games, such as the youth would see the answers from their curiosities through simulation games like "The Sims 3", this game allows you to control simulated people, which would allow you to do whatever you want them to do such as fall in love, build a family, be a business man, be a criminal and more, and through this game; it allows players to see what would happen in real life if they have seen it happen in the game, an example would be the player would have a simulated character that would have numerous wives and numerous children, after the player sees what would happen in the game, he would be aware that having numerous wives and numerous children is a very hard task to do in real life, and he would try his best to avoid it since he has already seen the result through the game. Another example of answering curiosities that people have would be from the game "X-Plane Simulator Demo", this game allows players to see what would happen if they would fly a real plane. Most aviation schools use this simulation game to avoid plane crashes, and it is used for the aspiring pilots to be more prepared before flying an actual aircraft. These games could help the youth generate ideas to develop the world for upcoming generations. In conclusion, video games help shape the growth of a child because through video games, the information given are almost 100% accurate, examples of these informations are from interactive knowledge games such as "Jumpstart", this game interactively educates children even if they are not in school. Finally, I would highly recommend simulation games to the youth because it is an invention that helped students increase their knowledge in a particular aspect in education, and it is very interesting because it tells you what will happen if you do something in the game, and that could apply to real life.
