A majority of youngsters today are hooked to online gaming. Indeed, many of them spend most of their free time playing games on their computer. But, some of the studies have shown that playing such games improved the skills and concentration levels of many surgeons. This immediately brings to ones mind the question that, if these games have proved to be useful for the surgeons, then can they be helping the youngsters as well?

Individuals who play these games need to stay focused on the game’s progress for very long periods of time. Also, they go about developing plans and strategies in order to defeat their opponents. Thus, their wits are also challenged. In this particular way, these games help them in developing innovative ideas by thinking in a way that is different from the one that they have been following.

However, there are also some ill-effects of online gaming. As cheating is easier; the youngsters do not trust one another. They may even adopt unethical means in order to win. Addiction is another problem caused by these games.

Thus, even though online gaming may be useful in some ways, its ill-effects are far greater than its benefits.
