Grand Theft Childhood: The Surprising Truth About Violent Video Games And What Parents Can Do $15.29 Listening to pundits and politicians, you'd think that the relationship between violent video games and aggressive behavior in children is clear. Children who play violent video games are more likely to be socially isolated and have poor interpersonal skills. Violent games can trigger real-world violence. The best way to protect our kids is to keep them away from games such as Grand Theft Auto that are rated M for Mature. Right? Wrong. In fact, many parents are worried about the wrong things! In 2004, Lawrence Kutner, PhD, and Cheryl K. Olson, ScD, cofounders and directors of the Harvard Medical School Center for Mental Health and Media, began a $1.5 million federally funded study on the effects of video games. In contrast to previous research, their study focused on real children and families in real situations. What they found surprised, encouraged and sometimes disturbed them: their findings conform to the views of neither the alarmists nor the video game industry boosters. In Grand Theft Childhood: The Surprising Truth about Violent Video Games and What Parents Can Do , Kutner and Olson untangle the web of politics, marketing, advocacy and flawed or misconstrued studies that until now have shaped parents' concerns. Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all prescription, Grand Theft Childhood gives the information you need to decide how you want to handle this sensitive issue in your own family. You'll learn when -- and what kinds of -- video games can be harmful, when they can serve as important social or learning tools and how to create and enforce game-playing rules in your household. You'll find out what's really in the games your children play and when to worry about your children playing with strangers on the Internet. You'll understand how games are rated, how to make best use of ratings and the potentially important information that ratings don't provide. Grand Theft Childhood takes video games out of the political and media arenas, and puts parents back in control. It should be required reading for all families who use game consoles or computers. Almost all children today play video or computer games. Half of twelve-year-olds regularly play violent, Mature-rated games. And parents are worried... "I don't know if it's an addiction, but my son is just glued to it. It's the same with my daughter with her computer...and I can't be watching both of them all the time, to see if they're talking to strangers or if someone is getting killed in the other room on the PlayStation. It's just nerve-racking!" "I'm concerned that this game playing is just the kid and the TV screen...how is this going to affect his social skills?" "I'm not concerned about the violence; I'm concerned about the way they portray the violence. It's not accidental; it's intentional. They're just out to kill people in some of these games." What should we as parents, teachers and public policy makers be concerned about? The real risks |

The Games $12.99 This stunning first novel from Nebula Award and Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award finalist Ted Kosmatka is a riveting tale of science cut loose from ethics. Set in an amoral future where genetically engineered monstrosities fight each other to the death in an Olympic event, The Games envisions a harrowing world that may arrive sooner than you think.   Silas Williams is the brilliant geneticist in charge of preparing the U.S. entry into the Olympic Gladiator competition, an internationally sanctioned bloodsport with only one rule: no human DNA is permitted in the design of the entrants. Silas lives and breathes genetics; his designs have led the United States to the gold in every previous event. But the other countries are catching up. Now, desperate for an edge in the upcoming Games, Silas’s boss engages an experimental supercomputer to design the genetic code for a gladiator that cannot be beaten.   The result is a highly specialized killing machine, its genome never before seen on earth. Not even Silas, with all his genius and experience, can understand the horror he had a hand in making. And no one, he fears, can anticipate the consequences of entrusting the act of creation to a computer’s cold logic.   Now Silas races to understand what the computer has wrought, aided by a beautiful xenobiologist, Vidonia João. Yet as the fast-growing gladiator demonstrates preternatural strength, speed, and—most disquietingly—intelligence, Silas and Vidonia find their scientific curiosity giving way to a most unexpected emotion: sheer terror. From the Hardcover edition. |

Basic Computer Games $60.54 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles BASIC Computer Games is a compilation of typein computer games in the BASIC programming language collected by David H. Ahl. Some of the games were written or modified by Ahl as well. It was the first millionselling computer book. The first edition of the book, released in 1973, contained 101 games that had been collected from a newsletter Ahl wrote for DECs education department. Many of these games had originally been written on different platforms and then ported to DEC machines. These were easy enough to port to other popular platforms of the era, and many of the games reappeared on other popular systems like the Data General Nova and HP 2100 series. Copies of the original collection were still widely available when the first hobbyist microcomputers started appearing in 1975, and it became quite popular with these owners. The release of the 1977 Trinity machines resulted in millions of new platforms appearing almost overnight, and demand for the book led to a second edition in 1978. Author: Miller, Frederic P./ Vandome, Agnes F./ McBrewster, John Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 68 Publication Date: 2010/12/20 Language: English Dimensions: 6.00 x 9.02 x 0.16 inches |
What is the advantage and disadvantage of computer games?
If you want to look at it from a parental stand point (as this question comes across to me) the disadvantages could be that computer games tend to distract children from more important things like homework and social activities or sun light. Computer games come across as violent, habit forming, mind altering, and just plain bad. Which i have to say is complete crap (pardon). Parents, the Media, and the Government, have been giving computer games a bad rap claiming that they poison the minds of the young, show people how to do bad things so they go out and do them, or turn a generation of mamas boys into light deprived social misfits. It seams really bad, but thats what the government and parents that dont want to parent what people to think.
Computer games do not promote violence (in fact i would like to see some one find a computer game that actually wants you to go out and kill some one in real life like you can in the game), and sure hard core gamers have pasty white skin (but thats only because Mama didnt have enough sense to do something about it when she had the chance or because she bought the game in the first place).
Computer games provide an outlet for pent up anger (a good FPS can cure a bad day at the office), a community for like minded individuals (MMORPGs), a chance to do something that is impossible in real life (magic or super powers or play god with a house full of people), a chance to play sports with professionals on their team, a chance to play God, improve hand eye coordination, stretch imagination or problem solving, think strategically, balance economy, and really just improve skills in a way that is entertaining. Hope that helps.
every coin has its two sides .we should make most of the advantage instead of its disadvantage
