2. Video Games can improve peoples vision: “Don’t sit too close to the television” is often used by parents and although being to close to the screen can be bad, but the right amount can help improve eyesight from farther distances.

3. More Psychical: even video games requiring a simple controller can lead to physical activity. Sports games that involve basketball, baseball, and even skateboarding can lead to children practicing those same skills outdoors.
