Playing Outdoors vs. Online Gaming: Why Youth Clings to the Virtual World

May 7, 2019

Is gaming online really that bad? Learn about why milennials prefer spending time on the internet compared to hanging out in the great outdoors.

That title itself is causing some controversy; we can already feel it in the air. Speaking of which, where do you find yourself right now, physically? Are you sat comfortably in your favourite armchair or are you chilling in the park? Regardless of the location, odds are you are holding onto a piece of technological device. And if you are stern on your stance against online gaming, there is a slight bit of irony in your attitude.

Do we have you intrigued yet? Good, because there is something important to be discussed.

Learn from the Past, but Don’t Cling to It

The young against senior citizens is a battle as old as time. Each camp is inclined to necessarily having an opinion that is essentially opposite to the other side. Like two sides of the same coin, they never see eye to eye. We are not here to tell you whether the former or the latter are right. Rather, we will attempt to have your mind open to both points of view.

The fact of the matter is that tech savvy persons are the ones driving this society forwards. Thanks to them we are seeing developments such as bionic arms and artificial intelligence happen. Could you imagine how helpful these gadgets would have been to previous generations? Instead of being skeptical and dubious surrounding the matter, why wouldn’t we attempt to understand the other party?

You Are in Control

One of numerous utilities of the modernity is the entertainment industry. It is essential to comprehend the depth of the term, and disregard the superficial understanding of an oblivious cynic.

Online gaming affects the way our brains work in myriad ways. On a cognitive level, strategic thinking required when making a decision in a video game boosts a child’s judgment skills in real-life situations. Furthermore, endeavouring to approach the mission before the player takes time. This makes participants focus on a single task for a prolonged period, which results in overall improved patience and calmness when solving a problem. Evaluating what the right move to make is gives you perspective. Moreover, as the ruler of your own virtual destiny, you dictate your own tempo and teach yourself organisational skills. [If being called lazy is the burden I need to carry in exchange for getting things done, I am fully responsible. Feel free to hold it against me.]

Spending time online does not inevitably exclude the social aspect. Truthfully, your pals are ideal companions in the outside world, but you can also kill time with them in the exciting world of online gaming. A multitude of games allows for multiplayer and interactive features and your mate Casino Bloke can take you for a ride through this particular entertainment rollercoaster.

Monotony Antidote

One obvious downside of the fast-paced existence is that admittedly we are very easily bored. Accordingly, the revolution and speed at which online entertainment evolves is stupefying. And when something shifts and changes its shape so frequently, it is the perfect cure for the fatigued youth.

Surely, spending multiple hours a day before the screen can severely damage your eyesight. Studies have shown that even individuals who regularly wear glasses and contact lenses tend to have their vision impaired even further after sitting before a computer on end. What can we then expect of those who have a 20:20 vision? Well, the answer is pretty simple. No change has to be apparent. Ophthalmic experts have thought of the solution for those who choose to, or are by work obliged to; expose themselves to computer radiation on a day to day basis. So you have nothing to worry about.
