Today, video games are becoming so much more popular and video game companies are earning a lot of money because people today buy games a lot. Xbox, PS3, PC, and Wii are probably the four most used and famous gaming devices or consoles in the world. They give access to games and can turn a bored person into the most excited and happy person in the world. Though people are having fun, there's a big question. Gamers like to sit around and play their games. Some gamers may do physical activities but it won't help much. Now you know where this is going to. What is happening to peoples' health? Are people in the future going to be very unhealthy? This may seem bad but there's also good news. Human minds are improving more because of games.
So what is happening to the health of gamers? Some gamers play sports so that may be fine but to gamers that don't play sport may have a little trouble. They don't exercise their bodies and they may get fat, increasing cancer chance. Maybe even lack of sleep are ruining gamers' health. These are all bad, but it's time for the good news. Studies have shown that human minds are getting better. Regardless of what games they play, they made humans more creative. Strategic games like Starcraft have made people think 4 times more faster. Games like World of Warcraft made people more creative. Red Dead Redemption gamers could make decisions 25% faster and more correct. Those are the advantages gained from games. So what is human going to be like? I think we can balance out both game and physical activity so that we have a healthy body and a creative mind.
