How Might Video Games Be Good for Us?

friends playing video games together
       In the article How Might Video Games Be Good for Us? by Jane McGonigal, there's a question asked, "Is gameplay good for us? It’s a question I hear daily from gamers –as well as from their parents, teachers, doctors, therapists, and pastors". In my opinion I believe some video games can be good for you and some are just way too much it also depends on the age because it's also parents fault that there kids are too young to play shooting and violent games and the parents do not care about it they just still let there kids play these violent games and thats why there massacres like the killings that happened in new town Connecticut which impacted a lot of people. Another example in the article is says how many hours we spend on video games daily,"we now spend more than one billion hours every single day playing videogames – a total that’s up more than 50% from just three years ago. Meanwhile, the average young person racks up 10,000 hours playing videogames by the age of twenty-one. (By comparison, they will spend just 10,084 hours in the classroom throughout all of middle school and high school combined.)" Thats incredible on how many one person spends on just video games.
