| While on the subject of video games here are some good and bad facts that Nintendo has given us. We all know what it is or some us do, the Nintendo thumb or more known as trigger finger. The result of this is a type of stenosing tenosynovitis in which the sheath around the tendon of the thumb or finger becomes swollen of over using or gripping an object firmly, when the sheath becomes swollen the tendon can’t slide freely and is painful to straighten once bent. Another thing is that with the virtual boy gave people eyestrain and eye problems, especially for those under 7 years old. Even though it didn’t get a good sale because of the eye problem that it gave, some of the people that did buy it got headaches or even seizures from short time of game time playing. Some good things that benefit from playing video games is that it introduces children to technology, games can give practice in following direction, some games provide practice in problem solving, games can provide occasions for parent and the child to play together, and games are fun. |
