5 Reasons Why Mature Adults Should Play Computer Games
Remarkable benefits of gaming for people over 30 years old
Introduction
Many people in my circles seem to think that computer games are only for kids and young adults. But I have a different view. So my goal is to share these thoughts hoping older adults can also benefit from computer games.
I shared my perspective on the health aspect of gaming in a recent story titled Can Gaming Be Healthy? Gamification in education is a passion for me. Therefore, I write a lot about it.
But even though computer games are fun and engaging, many people still consider them to be simply entertainment — and as we all know from personal experience, sometimes that’s all they’re good for.
In reality, though, computer games can provide so much more than entertainment: They can help you stay smart, creative, and healthy as well as connect with others on a deeper level than any other form of media could ever hope to achieve.
My goal in this post is to encourage adults, especially over 30 years of age, to consider playing video games with their kids, grandkids, friends, relatives, community members, and others on social networks.
