<span>1They’re Producing Better Surgeons. </span>

While you may think you want your surgeon reading up on the latest medical research instead of playing games, you might want to reconsider: a study of laparoscopic (small incision) specialists found that those who played for more than three hours per week made 32 percent fewer errors during practice procedures compared to their non-gaming counterparts.  

2. They May Help People Overcome Dyslexia.

Some research points to attention difficulties as being a key component of dyslexia. One study has shown dyslexics improved their reading comprehension following sessions of games heavy on action. The reason, researchers believe, is that the games have constantly changing environments that require intense focus.

<span>3. They Could Improve Your Vision. </span>

“Don’t sit too close to the television” used to be a common parental refrain without a lot of science to back it up. Instead, scientists are discovering games in moderation may actually improve—not strain—your vision. In one study, 10 weeks of play was associated with a greater ability to discern between different shades of grey. Another had participants try to play games using only their “lazy” eye, with the “good” one obscured. Those players showed significant, sometimes normalized improvement in the affected eye. 

4. Players Can Become Fascinated with History.           

Many games use actual historical events to drive their stories. Those characters and places can then spark a child’s interest in discovering more about the culture they’re immersed in, according to researchers. Parents who have obtained books, maps, and other resources connected to games have reported their children are more engaged with learning, which can lead to a lifetime appreciation for history. 

<span />  5<span>. They May Slow the Aging Process. </span>

So-called “brain games” involving problem-solving, memory, and puzzle components have been shown to have a positive benefit on older players. In one study, just 10 hours of play led to increased cognitive functioning in participants 50 and older—improvement that lasted for several years. 

<span>6. They Help Ease Pain. </span>

It’s common to try to distract ourselves from pain by paying attention to something else or focusing on other body mechanisms, but that’s not the only reason why games are a good post-injury prescription. Playing can actually produce an analgesic (pain-killing) response in our higher cortical systems. The more immersive, the better—which is why pending virtual reality systems may one day be as prevalent in hospitals as hand sanitizer.  

<span>7. You’ll Make New Social Connections. </span>

Gamers are sometimes stigmatized as being too insulated, but the opposite is actually true. The rise of multi-player experiences online has given way to a new form of socializing in which players work together to solve problems. But studies have shown games can also be the catalyst for friends to gather in person: roughly 70 percent of all players play with friends at least some of the time. 

<span>8. You’ll Make Faster Decisions. </span>

We all know someone who seems to have a faster CPU than the rest of us, able to retrieve information or react in a split second. For some, that ability might be strengthened through gaming. Because new information is constantly being displayed during play, players are forced to adapt quickly. In one study, players who were immersed in fast-paced games were 25 percent faster in reacting to questions about an image they had just seen compared to non-players.

Unul alvo IUIT.<br>Example: The countryside is more beautiful than the city,​
Iteru [2.4K]

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Write 3 sentences comparing the city and the countryside.

Example: The countryside is more beautiful than the city

Answer:

Outdoor activities are more available in the countryside than in the city.

The countryside offers a more peaceful environment than the city does.

Pollution in the city is worse than in the countryside.

Explanation:

In English, there are several ways to compare two things. The use of the comparative is the most common. When the adjective in question has two syllables and ends in any letter except "y", it is combined with "more".

However, irregular adjectives have rules of their own. In our example, "Bad" becomes "worse than".
