Computer and Video Games : The Pros and Cons

This article went into depth about the pros and cons of people playing video games and the effect it could have on the individual.
I decided to summerise the main points;

Pros;
Researches have found that gamers score better as vision tests.
The logical thinking patterns are often improved when strategic games are played.
Decision making skills are better.
Reactions can be improved.
Educational games help learning.

Cons;
Researches have found that people can have wrist, back and muscle injuries from sitting in the same position for hours.
Eyes strains have been found to be common.
Specialists have confirmed that children who spend too much time playing computer games not only are easily susceptible to long terms problems like bad posture and RSI (repetitive strain injury).
Spending many hours in front of the monitor and not going out enough could also cause social problems thus resulting in them becoming shy and introvert.
