Smart People Play it Safe

You like playing video games and you`ve finally reached the last level of your favorite one! But after all these long hours in front of the screen, the state-of-the-art graphics dont`t seem as clear as before and the sound effects are buzzing in yours ears.  No matter how fast you try to push the "jump" button. you can`t make it past the current screen.  If this has ever happenned to you, don´t worry; you´re not alone.

Experts say that playing video games help to improve memory, math skills, and patience.   However, you have to play sensibly or you can  develop health problems.   Sam Blakey, for example, a 14 years old American boy , could play  video games for hours, but then he got Nintendo thumb.  This happens when you make  your thumb do the same action  again and again, like pressing a button on a game  console.     So when you sit in front of your computer screen  ready to play your favorite game , make sure you play it safe.

  • Don`t sit too close to the screen or you`ll have sore eyes.   If you wear glasses, you must wear them or you can damage your eyesight.
  • Always sit in a comfortable chair or you cand end up whit a backache.
  • Always have a light on.  You must no play in the dark.
  • Remember, you also have a social life and schoolwork.   Gaming must not affect them.
