Q: "Teenagers should not be allowed to play online games." Comment.
A: I think that teenagers SHOULD be allowed to computer games, but not to excess.
Reason 1: Health.
Computer games allow us to have better hand-eye co-ordination, thus letting us improve in our lives. Research has shown that children who played computer games scored 38% higher in a test which they were supposed to press a button in accordance to what they saw on a screen, than children who did not play computer games. They were also 22% faster, showing that computer games improve our reaction time as well.
Reason 2: Economy.
If teenagers were not allowed to play computer games, the video game industry would drop sharply. Evidence: Go to any arcade (apart from Chinatown Arcade) and count how many youngsters are there as compared to older people. Chances are, the only people above thirty you will see there will be the owners or the employees of the arcade.
If no one (or almost no one) bought the games, the video game industry would fall sharply and there would be a loss of jobs globally. Without those jobs, the people would not be able to spend in basic necessities and in the worst case, it might lead to a global recession, if accompanied by a already-existing recession and a pandemic (H1N1) so there.
Two reasons are enough, for now. Of you want some more, just ask politely in the comments and I will update this post with another bunch of reasons, ranging from 1 more to 300 million.
