WHAT PEOPLE THINK.
(NEGATIVE)
Violent computer games are having a damaging effect on the "tender young minds" of
children, a teachers' union has warned.
The Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) raised concerns about the negative
impact of children spending hours a day playing computer games that are inappropriate for
their age.
The warning came as a survey found more than a quarter of parents say their child gets less
than half-an-hour of physical activity outside of school.
ATL members are due to debate a resolution at their annual conference in Manchester next
week which says some computer games have a negative effect on very young children.
It calls for the union's executive to commission research which will allow it to lobby
government for the introduction of "stringent legislation" on computer games.

WHAT PEOPLE THINK (POSITIVE)
"Videogames change your brain," according to University of Wisconsin
psychologist C. Shawn Green. Video games change the brain’s physical
structure the same way as do learning to read, playing the piano, or navigating
using a map. Much like exercise can build muscle, the powerful combination
of concentration and rewarding surges of neurotransmitters like dopamine
strengthen neural circuits can build the brain.
