As a player myself, it is easy to say video games are a fun way to escape the real world. Video games are everywhere and almost everyone can find something they like. It's easy to spend hours playing a video game; believe me, you're not the only one who has played Candy Crush or more Angry Birds then you should have. But does this mean that video games can have a negative effect on an individual?
There have been several studies on how the game can affect people in the workplace. Video games can actually have a positive influence on one of productivity, improving on a variety of skills such as: ..

However, video games can negatively impact a person's health and well-being:

- video games can create aggressive thoughts and allow a person to anger. easily, which in turn could make more difficult workplace frustrations to handle.

As you can see, video games have the potential to increase or decrease the productivity of a person. Does all this mean that we should not play video games because there is a chance of a negative outcome? No. While video games can have negative effects when played too long, too many days they can also be a great way to improve skills that can be used in the workplace and in everyday life.
