Video games makeup to a big industry of about $67 billion
dollars and according to 2013 statistics. Many big players are putting their
stake in the gaming industry including Microsoft. Video Games are often treated
as a waste of time which builds violence in you and makes you anti-social. But,
what we fail to consider is the long-term benefits of video games; they help us
grow smarter.
Recent studies have concluded that video games change the
brain in a positive way and build strategic thinking, logic, decision making
and many more traits in the player and make them faster with all these actions.
Different games have a different impact on the player. Let’s look at them
separately.
Puzzles increase the brain function and IQ
Puzzles and games like Angry Birds and Mario Bros boosts
the mind with its jumping activities and obstacles placed around the match.
These activities improve the reaction time as you have to be quick to pass the
level and stay away from barriers and helps you to consider minute details in
any situation increase the decision-making skills on an individual. The puzzles
also enhance the IQ of the player.
Action
Games increases the decision-making power
Action games are quick, and you have to be aware of
everything going all around you especially on your back. You have to analyze
the movement and be keen to detail of the computer playing with you. This skill
from action games helps you make instant decisions on where to move and who to
kill. The minute details of what the other person is doing increase your
ability to read people in real life and keep a track of what’s going on in your
surroundings.

games make you aware of the signs and increase your real life driving
Driving games helps you to drive around with cars and
many obstacles while also saving yourself from the accidents. The road signs in
the match and obligation with the indications in the game can help you to
remember them when you’re driving in real life. These games also increase your
multitasking abilities as you’re focusing on different cars coming your way
along with road signs to stop you. The game will increase your attention
towards the road and will be quite beneficial in real life.
Moreover, these video games help us to learn from the
past mistakes and to think and make decisions on the go. All these techniques
which MBA’s learn in the university are given practical experience in the
games. Hands-on experience always helps one more rather than reading books and
therefore, individuals who play games can find out more from the games and are
sharp, strategic and real decision makers when they enter the corporate world.
