In a computer game, you play a character (thats in a role playing, third person game) and as the game proceeds you get involved into it so much that you almost start believing that the character is you. When he fights, you roar like a lion. When he fails, you feel fallen. When he finds a new path, you see hope. When he succeeds, you rejoice as if you succeeded. I dont blame this, because its actually you who are in control of his moves. And when he dies, or meses up somewhere, you will have to start again from the previous check point or save point, and now this is precisely what I am going to talk about.
Computer games give you a second chance if you lose or die or mess up during the game, but life doesnt. You have a one shot chance at everything. But what computer games can teach you is how to strategise before making a move. let me explain. In a computer game you obviously dont want to mess up or die or anything, so before you make a move you think what will happen if you do so, hence you see your various options before a move. As you keep on gaming, you wont make a mistake making any move because you would have thought about it deeply and analysed the situation before making that move. And this experience helps in life. In life where you have to make difficult moves, you analyse the different possibilities, options etc and then make your move. You have the experience of thinking logically that way. And very little will you make mistakes. This even increases your level of boldness towards things. You also know where to take risk and where not to.
This way, atleast I think computer games have made some impact over my way of life.. :)
