Infact, Minecraft Redstone was a massive catalyst in developing my interest into putting small parts together into a working system, which eventually led me to learn programming. Bad actors are unfortunately present in all sorts of industries, but anecdotally, they are outliers.įor me, the video games that I play or played have brought me closer to my friends and left me with memories that I can look back on and smile at the thought of.

Firstly, video games are a very broad term so I'm not claiming that there are not video games that are made solely for the purpose of making money from people addicted to the dopamine rush. >Doesn't it sound almost undeniable that we would be healthier as a society if people were forced to do sports, read a book, create something, or talk to their friends in order to relax instead?

Even if choosing video games as a hobby is a bad idea then people (including me) are free to make bad choices. Lastly, I'm not talking about 'forcing people'. Apropos Ted Kaczynski, it might be tempting to say that most 'post industrial' hobbies are the bad ones. I'm not saying video games is the only bad hobby. These two points apply to the examples you mentioned as well: reading news and talking on social media. I even think this might come at a cost because really figuring out/performing well in a game can be very mentally taxing at the expense of more productive use of that mental capacity. Sure, you might improve a bit at problem solving, but I think the value per unit of time spent is still very low. Second it's that I think video games is a lower value way to spend your time. First it's that you are more likely to spend 'too much' time on video games because they are more addictive, you don't really get tired and you can do them at basically any time. On a societal level I'd say there are basically two reasons why I think video games might be a worse pastime than the older ones. I don't think I'm getting my point across.įirst of all: It certainly is my own cup of tea Like I said, I play lots of video games myself.
