Don?t Dismiss Online Games as a Waste of Time

Los Angeles, CA ---- According to a recent research, Americans spend about 36 % of their online time communicating, networking and playing games on social media sites. Online games have become the second most popular activity on the internet. With so much popularity, there is bound to be criticism as well. The most common criticism is that they are a waste of time. There is news everywhere that productive time is being wasted on online games.

We often blame the technology rather than blaming the people who use the technology. Since the time computers started making their mark in the corporate world, the topic of time wastage has always been discussed. Earlier it was the threat of Solitaire, which then moved on to email, and now its social gaming that?s being blamed. The truth however is that no one has ever taken into account the number of hours and dollars wasted when employees gaze out of their windows, or chat around people?s desks or even hang out around the water cooler.

?Online games are a great way to relax and de-stress yourself from your routine work. These games help in decision making, problem solving and also encourage creativity,? says Troy Wooten, of arcadewarfare.com, an online game site that offers free online games, including free Nintendo games.

Online games that concentrate on problem solving have always been known to improve brain function. These free online games focus on reasoning, logic, speed and memory, and help to exercise your brain. And playing them couldn?t be easier. ?All that you have to do is sign up on a site that provides free playable games and start playing. At arcadewarfare.com, we have a plethora of games that are designed to stimulate you to focus on multiple skills like problem solving, time management, creativity, decision making etc.,? he adds.

These games also help to foster social interaction between people. A number of online games are developed to encourage cooperative play, thus allowing for people to build relationships.

People have to be educated on the effective use of these games and the perils of an addiction of these games rather than to enforce a blanket ban on them.
