Good computer skills are desirable in today's digital age, and playing computer games can help children improve those skills—as long as they don't overdo it, scientists warn.
(23) The British study involved 600 teenagers over a period of two years and found that those who played computer games less than once a week achieved better grades at school than ones who played them twice a day or more often. The study also found that daily use of social media did not affect school performance. "It was clear that social media didn't have any impact. (24) I think that's more because social media is part and parcel of every child's life. It's the way they communicate. It's the way they keep in touch with their friends." the researchers said.
Parents increasingly complain of having difficulty getting their children away from computer games. Some even seek help for their teenagers who they say are addicted to them.
(23) The study did not look into addiction, but suggested computer games can cause children to stay up late in the evenings, making them tired and less able to focus at school the next day.
Mark Starkey, the longtime owner of the Heart of Gaming computer game outlet in London, said there is also the difference between older games and the new ones. "The ability to make games a lot more bigger, a lot more detailed, a lot more intricate is here now. (25) It is going to hold their attention longer. It is going to hold it a lot longer, because there is always wanting to progress through the story line—Oh my god, I have to see what happens next, etc. Whereas, again, (25) the old games challenge more your hand-eye coordination, your speed, your timing, your reactions, rather than perhaps your imagination."
The games industry has long claimed there is no proven link between games and addiction. But the new study says additional research is needed to establish the effect of prolific computer game-playing on performance at school.

優秀的電腦技術在現在的數字化時代很重要，玩電腦游戲能夠幫助孩子們提高一些技能只要孩子們不沉溺于電腦游戲，科學家們警告道。
一項英國的研究對六百名青少年進行了為期兩年的觀察，發現那些打電腦游戲一周少于一次的學生比那些一天打兩次或更多次的學生成績要好。研究還發現每天使用社交媒體不會影響學生在學校的表現?！昂苊黠@社交媒體沒有任何影響。我認為那是因為社交媒體已經變成了每個孩子生活中不可缺少的一部分。這是一種交流的方式。這是一種和他們的朋友們保持聯系的方式。”調查人員說道。
