Reality Bytes, Two Myths About Video Games Debunked

According to the author Henry Jenkins of the video games, the technology of video games is becoming more and more complicated because there are a few that are going to be more dangerous. For example, nowadays those games will affect minds and behavior.

The author gave eight important points; one of these points is youths are destroying their brains because the games are more violent and that’s why the adults are behaving badly, and there is a percentage about who cares about those games more; 90 percent of boys and 40 percent of girls play them.

The second point is a good point and it’s talking about the specific scientific evidence connecting the violent games with the adults age; this point is talking about the adults who cannot differentiate between fun and aggression because, based on earlier productions, they can no longer differentiate between what is violent or safe, although it can affect their behavior in the society and it could be dangerous.

Hedley’s trip to the Niah Caves

30 years ago, Hedley and his wife with their elder daughter set out early morning and traveled from Bandar Seri Begawan (BSB) the capital of Brunei to the Niah Caves in East Malaysia by car and small boat.

They crossed two large rivers by ferry and stopped in Miri for lunch and arrived at sunset and they stayed with their new friends who they met and slept in a government rest house. Next morning, they went to the Niah caves; inside the caves they saw men climbing poles in order to scrape birds’ nests off the roof of the caves.

In the afternoon, they said goodbye to their new friends and drove back home; they felt it was a very nice trip.
