Jennimegger, a game designer and writer, is touring her new book, "Reality falls apart: Why games make us better and how they change the world," provides solid evidence that video games can bring positive emotional experiences rather than murder simulators. Her new column today is well worth reading. Jenny wrote in the Huffington Post that playing video games for one hours a day can lead to a successful life. In contrast to the recent unsubstantiated argument that "games are a big part of the increase in sexual crime", Jenny believes that games can actually help meet people's positive emotional needs and educate and motivate gamers in ways that are almost impossible to find in the real world. "Why do we play games more and more?" According to my research, this is because games can inspire our most powerful positive emotions: curiosity, optimism, self-esteem, and the desire to achieve extraordinary success with others, "Jenny wrote. "The game is, and increasingly, an effective way to bring our friends and family closer together, to strengthen our real-life and online social networks, something that no other way can do." Jenny says research shows that the positive emotional experience will accumulate into the same positive results in real life, but good things can't be too much. "Many studies have shown that there is a ' 21-hour limit ', and if more than 3 hours a day, more than 21 hours a week, the positive effects will disappear, followed by the risk of negative effects such as depression and social phobia," the article said. "Then what is the best level of the game?" For most people, playing one-hour favorite games a day can strengthen our ability to face difficult challenges and strengthen our relationship with the people we care about most, but at the same time, we should also pay attention to when we should stop the game of virtual world and bring our ability back to the real world.
