Children love games. Teenagers love games. Video games, console games and online games give us the great experience on visual effects and interaction beyond our imagination. That's why the teenagers are fascinated by them. However, the human communication is lacked in those games. Sometimes, the illusion presented in these games may alter children concepts and values especially when they have not yet developed their own value system. The teenagers may see bloodshed in the uncensored games. They may get used to it. They may not take lives serious.
In fact, the healthy games should encourage human interaction and challenges. They should train up players' mind-body coordination, brain power, communication skills, etc. Thus players can be self-developed.
As what we can see, sport activities are encouraged in schools of United States. Basket ball, football, hockey, golf catch teenagers' eyes. The players can learn team spirit through the games. They understand that it does not matter to win or lose. Only friendship and personal development is what they gain.
In Hong Kong, sports is just sports. Game is game. Sports is for physical training. Game is for leisure only. The values of sports and games could not be quite understood. It requires much more effort for Hong Kong to cultivate the sports and gaming culture.
