In the previous article we talked about computer gaming in children’s life and we have seen the advantages and disadvantages that this games have. In this article we will see how adults treat computer games and if these games have the same effect on adults as they have on children.

As surprising as this might seem, gaming is something very important not only for children but also for adults,for their psychic balance.We are not talking of course about the sort of games we used to play as children but other kind of games,such as online games.Pew Internet & American Life has made a research about this topic and the result was that the number of American people who have over 18 and play computer games has increased, so 53% of the American adults play computer games while one of five Americans play games such as World of Warcraft every day.

80% of the people with ages between 18 and 20 play video games and 60% of those who are between 30 and 49, and 40% of those who are between 50 and 64, also play computer games.

My brother for example (age 28) still plays a lot of computer games,although he has a job, friends,and a lot on his mind.But he still makes time every day to play computer games and this doesn’t stop him from being a very serious and reliable person,so for those of you who might think that adults who play computer games have a problem,well you are wrong.I suppose that adult computer gaming is not as dangerous as youth computer gaming.Adults (or at least most of them) know when to stop and most of them play during the break at work or half an hour at home before going to sleep just as a relaxing method.

Adult computer gaming has increased because of the very fast life style that most of the adults have.Adults sometimes need a little break and something do distract their mind.And most of the times this distraction is a computer game.

Specialists advice adults who are married and already have children, not to exaggerate with computer games,and sometimes maybe even try to include their families in this plays.Of course, it is well known the father-son relationship and its importance,so if it is possible why not improve it through an online football match or an online puzzle?

Of course outdoor activities should still lead the competition real-virtual games,but if not possible computer games can and I’m sure they will do a great job at relaxing every each of us.

Adult online gaming is nowadays something very normal,so if one day you see your husband being a warrior or a matrix figure,don’t worry he will be just fine.And if you as a husband see one day your wife being a very important designer or a very good online cook,don’t worry either,she will also be just fine.Adult online gaming is or at least should be just a way to relax and nothing more than that.
