PUBLIC SPEAKING 2024 - Benefits of Online Games

Benefits of Online Games
A very good morning to our honourable panel of judges, wise timekeeper

and teachers….
The topic I’m going to speak today is Benefits of Online Games
As far as we know,online games is a simple playing of video game over

internet usually with friends. Online games can be played on any number of
devices from dedicated video games consoles such as PlayStations, Xboxes
and Nintendo, Switches to PCs, laptops and mobile phones.
Roblox! Candy Crush! PUBG! Lead of Legends!, etc. are some of the
popular games that most gamers will play.
The people can easily access on this Online Gaming due to the modern
gadgets that invented by the new generation. We have now the internet café,
personal computer and other gadgets that we can use any time in our life.
Most of us used to say that Online Games are bad but I find that playing
games can be good for you! There are social, emotional and cognitive
benefits for playing video games and online games.
Because playing online games involves sitting in front of a screen, it is often

dismissed.
However, online gaming can be positive for young people. Games require a
level of interaction and skill from the player; unlike watching television,
which is more passive. Games can be a concern for parents and teachers, but
playing games can also have beneficial impacts for children and young
people.
Based on our own experience we play online games to entertain ourselves

and kill our boredom. The other “techi” or the technology-inclined we spend
several hours in playing instead doing more important things. Online role-
playing games, the site adds, "encourages interaction amongst other people
and development of groups, allowing people to flourish socially online,
providing an escape for their struggling social life"; however the games
could also ruin a "successful social life".
According to online gamer, they start playing Online games when they are in
primary and secondary school. And continuously playing online games until
now. When a person is obsessed to online games, he/she wants and makes
more time in playing online games
Although games are a form of entertainment, with parents’ support and

guidance video gaming benefits by helping them children develop their
creativity, nurture relationships with friends and improve strategic thinking.
It can also help young players build perseverance to achieve goals, build
resilience and improve their communications skills, especially in online
multiplayer video games.
Here are 7 gaming benefits proven to support young players:
1. Enhances memory, brain’s speed and concentration
Games that are immersive and require strategy and problem-solving skills to
win require players to remember and take in a lot of information. Regularly
playing these types of games can help improve young players’ short and
long-term memory. They may also the brain process information quicker.
Furthermore, video games capture players’ imagination, helping them to stay
focused on certain tasks, building their perseverance to achieve a goal.
2. Improved multi-tasking skills
Games that require players to find items while fighting off other opponents
call for attention to detail and quick reactions. Studies have shown that this
type of gaming benefits young players by helping them develop their multi-
tasking skills.
3. Build skills for future careers
The more complex online multiplayer games help to teach players how to be
strategic and analytical to assess risk and reward. These games call for
young players to react quickly to changes in the game. This type of gaming
benefits children because the skills can be transferable to real-world jobs that
rely on problem-solving, analytical skills and strategic thinking.
4. Group play provides social benefits
Whether children are playing online multiplayer games with friends or using
family-friendly apps like ‘Heads Up’ with the family in the living room,
these types of games can help nurture relationships through shared moments.
They also improve children’s social skills. For children who may have
disabilities, it can also be a way for them to make friendships they may
struggle to create offline and contribute to overall child development.
5. Promotes teamwork and builds confidence
Online multiplayer gaming benefits young players by allowing them to take

on a number of roles such as managing teams or working with others to win.
The shared experience can be a great way to collaborate and learn from each
other to build children’s confidence.
6.Provides a fun way to stay active
The success of games like Pokemon GO and Just Dance are an example of
how gaming benefits children by motivating them to stay active while
gaming. Also, the rise of mobile gaming apps means that children can now
game on the go.
7. Provides a safe space to talk about fears
Sometimes it can be easier to talk about worries in a virtual context, and

gaming may benefit children by providing a safe place for children to
express themselves.
Although I believe that there are many cons, I have concluded that the pros
heavily outweigh them, online gaming helps the development of children,
provides a fun and exciting way to pass time and develops teamwork skills,
they enhance skills such as technology skills that are required in today’s life
which is constantly changing and growing.
But I do agree that online gaming does have a downside like everything in
life, and that use should be limited and online gamers should be aware of the
things that can possibly happen if their time gaming is abused.
Parents should limit the time their children are allowed to play online, and
only allow use if all homework and other commitments are completed.
Gaming should be a reward not a given.
Thank you.
