Too much use of computer games can be the cause of dementia to children

A renowned neuroscientist, Baroness Greenfield, has suggested that the too much use of computer games can be the reason of damage to children’s brains. This brain damage can lead to a transitory dementia (madness).

She is a British scientist and her area of expertise is in the physiology of brain. She is a professor of Synaptic Pharmacology.

According to her, although it is a fact that the computer games enhance the awareness of children towards real world’s challenges and they teach them about how to deal with various mystifying situations, but these can also cause them the computer obsession which stops us from spending more time in open air doing physical activities.

The long stories by her published in newspapers have highlighted the threats and hazards of computer games and public have learnt a lot about menaces of computers.

According to her suggestion the physical sports’ activities help the healthy lifestyle in children. They should get outside more often to play games and to involve in various types of sports. Participation in sports assists a person to keep balance between two diverse activities.
