While video games were long regarded as meaningless fun and even potentially harmful activity, multiple studies by prestigious universities have talked about the benefits you get if you play games, as long as it’s played in moderation. One of the most recent research arguing in favour of video games was carried out by the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. The study involved some 5,000 children between the ages of 15 and 15, through which it was observed that those who played less than one hour per day showed a higher level of sociability and a lower degree of hyperactivity or emotional problem.
On the other hand, those who played between 1 to 3 hours a day did not show any negative or positive effects; while the harmful effects on children were seen among those who played more than 3 hours a day.
