We And The Internet
Wednesday, 16. March 2011
Probably, there is no such person which would know about the computer but didn’t know about computer games. People buy the computer to play computer games and don’t suspect that except these games there is a lot of entertaining and useful things by which it is possible to do with the computer on it… Are the games useful or harmful to mental health of the person? What games should pay attention and what are better for avoiding? About all it speech in this section also will go…
For those who are unfamiliar with computer terminology and a computer slang, I will explain that “gamers” name people who use the computer in a greater degree only for the sake of games. The majority of gamers are “mad” people about computer games. An age contingent are within the limits from 10 till 40 years and the majority makes youth till 18 years (certainly, this definition and an age barrier are conditional).
In what games people play? Conditionally all set of games can be broken into some principal views. The most widespread kinds are 3D action and logic (“arcades”, “quests”, “strategy”, etc.). Generally, there are much more game styles but 3D Action and Logic are the brightest and the most favourite. Any game style is in own way interesting and develops certain thinking of the player. The initial sense of games consisted in original rest from monotonous every day life. But sometimes this rest develops into psychological dependence on the computer.
For the modern person availability to every possible Internet resources is for a long time already one of indicators of quality of life. Really, simplicity and speed of reception of the necessary information through a worldnet isn’t comparable with what another.
The schoolboy and the student of XXI th century hardly imagine now such catalog of regional library: the large quantity of virtual libraries has once and for all solved this problem. There will be all: from antique dramas of Evripid to the books about Harry Potter. However reading from the screen of the computer doesn’t add health (especially it concerns sight), it also doesn’t provide strong storing of a material: strangely enough, at such reading the attention more dissipates, concentration decreases. Besides, chubby collections of compositions which went in great demand in bookshops earlier also have left in the past: critiques, monographies, and even simply ready compositions with pleasure are downloaded by our schoolboys.
Other problem connected with the information, received by means of the Internet, is that it frequently isn’t checked up and at times it is harmful. Fans especially risk to receive advices in a forum or on on-line consultations. So, one young girl has shared with friends on a cosmetic forum a secret of treatment of hair with the help of oils having forgotten to mention that it is washed off at the best by detergent powder. But there are also more tragical cases. First of all, it concerns consultations on problems of physical and mental health. Remember that the person on that party of a network even if he has the higher medical education can’t give you high-grade consultation, and especially to help to understand personal problems! And if really professional on-line advisers warn you in advance about it at forums very often it is possible to meet a large quantity so-called “grandmother’s recipes“.
Computers are an inalienable part of our life. PCs are used not only for business goals but for entertainment as well. There are so many electronic games today – motorcycle games, RPG games, shooters, etc. But if you want to play a game just to relax and you are not a fan of gaming or you don’t want to pay money, avail yourself of free games. Moreover you can look for games online, for example free online racing games. Thus you even don’t have to go somewhere – the online network can offer you lots of things you might need.
