Children aged 9 to 10 who spent more than average time playing video games increased their IQ scores by 2.5 points above average two years later. At the same time, other forms of spending time behind the screen, such as watching videos, have neither a positive nor a negative effect on a child&#8217;s intelligence.<\/p><p><br \/>\ud83d\udcccTeenagers who are fond of video games are not socialized<\/p><p>No. The UK National Literacy Trust conducted a survey (https:\/\/literacytrust.org.uk\/research-services\/research-reports\/video-game-playing-and-literacy-survey-young-people-aged-11-16\/) among 4,626 teenagers aged 11-16. As it turned out, young people who actively play video games, on the contrary, feel more confident in communication. Young people indicated that the game helped them build social connections both &#8220;in real life&#8221; and online.<\/p><p><br \/>\ud83d\udccc Video games only harm your eyesight<\/p><p>No. In fact, they can be useful.
