In
globalization era technology improves very fast, one of them is game. Nowadays
many game industries which suply various types of modern games such as
Playstation. There are many variant of Playstation, like Playstation 1, 2 and
3. Playstation has many types of game programs as Winning Eleven, PES, Grand
Thef Auto, Harvestmoon, Golf, Teken, etc. Playstation also attracts many people
from children to adult. Besides Playstation is interesting game, it gives real
damage too especially for children.
Firstly
playstation make children forget about the traditional game. They prefer modern
game like as Playstation than traditional game such as Gobak Sodor, Congklak,
Nekeran, Petak Umpet, Gasing, etc. They feel shy when playing traditional game
and assume which the traditional game is ancient. Whereas the traditional game can dedactic for
children for example Gobak Sodor make children can learn about friendship,
togetherness, and techinque. Congklak
make the children learn about patience and honesty. The other traditional game
can prevent erosion of mental.
Second,
Playstation causes the players to be addicted. Children who once play
Playstation will have desire to play again and again until they spend a lot of
money in Playstation rent ( if they don’t have PS in their homes). In the
article entitled “Peds for Parents” by Dr. Douglas a. Gentile Ph.D, a
developmental psichologiest and the director of research for The National
Institute on Media and The Family conducted a research with children and adult, and said that playing a violent game for hours everyday could decrease school
performance and aggresive behaviour (Douglas : 2012). If the children often
play a violent game ( like Grand Thef Auto,Teken, boxing, etc), it can make
their psychology disturbed. It also can cause bullying with their friends
because the children more aggresive than the others. Another damages is the
children don’t want to go to school. They become lazy to go to school and
understimate their tasks.
Third,
research has documented negative effect of video game on children’s physical
health including obesity, video – incuded selzures and nerve compresion
(Douglas : 2012). Children who’re playing Playstation continuously, their
health can be disturbed. The radiation from TV screen can cause their eyes
tired, feel stiff, smarting, discomfort and they will get sight disease. The
effusion of radiation can react with body. Effusion of radiation causes atom
abdicate electron be ions. If it occurs in their body and it continues,
millions cell in their bodies will die and corrupt brain’s nerves.
Actually,
not all of the games on Playstation give bad damage. Douglas also said on his
article if video games are natural teacher. Children find themselves highly
motivated by the virtue of their interactive natures. Children are activelly
engaged with them, they provide repeated practice and they include rewards for
skillful play (Douglas : 2012). Playstation not only contains violent games, but also game for
teaching the children for example Harvestmoon can teach the children to be
patient and decipline, Most Wanted can teach the children to drive a car
carefully, Golf can improve the children’s actual control of force, etc. The
children also enjoy spending their free time easily.
In
short, Playstation gives many damage for children. The negative damages are
playstation make children forget about the traditional game, caused the players
to be addicted and disturb the player’s healths. However Playstation not only
give bad effect, but also good effect. Playstation can use for teaching the children.
Parents should guide their children when playing
playstation, so the child can divide the time to play and learn.
