i’ve played videogames since i was young playing sega genesis and super nintendo and i’m fine...its good for your hand eye coordination...it won’t hurt anyone...as with everything too much of anything is bad for you but a good balance of friends,sports,and videogames never hurt anybody
Like I said never did anybody any good.
Could you improve your hand eye coordination in other ways? Yes.
You did not become addicted to video games perhaps because you had other preexisting interest or perhaps video games addict people who are born with addictive personalities (most likely I think).
Too many parents will use TV and video games to keep their young children occupied and out of their hair.
Better to never have either in your home and learn to deal with your children and teach them to entertain themselves, teach them to control themselves.
I have seen too many kids waste away their youth in front of TV and Video games, mine included.
