We've all dreamt of getting superpowers at some point or in our lives. But what if we told you, you might already have ONE? Well, you can’t shoot webs and fly in the air but, research shows that gaming (in moderation) enhances your cognitive abilities and makes you superior. It LITERALLY gives you powers.
1. Gamers Are Ready For Anything
Gamers not only make faster decisions but also adapt to new situations easily. The fast-paced nature of gaming involves making many many micro-decisions. This increases your ability to adapt to new information (Neuroplasticity), making you apocalypse ready. ALWAYS!!!!
2. Gamers Get Better Grades
Only the gamer Gods know what you had for lunch yesterday but the zone’s map is in the back of your hand. Gaming engages our memory center (Hippocampus), improving your ability to recall and remember. Just squeeze in a gaming sesh in your study breaks (Or vice versa, we’re not your parents) and write those tests like a boss!
Gamers' Have Spiderman Level Reflexes
Gaming doesn’t just require fast reactions. It demands precise movements. If you’ve played any BGMI, you know what we mean. You end up honing your hand-eye coordination which helps with skills like typing, driving or anything spatial.
Gamers' Are Better Multitaskers Than Non-Gamers' #Fact
Gaming (especially action games) requires the player to do multiple tasks at once. Eg: Looking out for enemies, keeping track of health & ammo, communicating with teammates aur ek aankh darwaaze pe (Coz it’s 0300 AM and you left the dinner table to sleep at 10).
Gamers' Are Master Strategist
Move aside Dhoni Ji, there’s a new player in town. Gaming requires a LOT of planning and strategy and are under a LOT of pressure when they are doing it. Making you the new captain cool, planning and making decisions in any situation, making you the master strategist. Maybe Dhoni should play some BGMI too.
