Conclusion• We may not be certain about the long term effects of violent video games

but we are sure that they do not lead to peacefulness and moral virtue

• Not just practicing the game but even watching it affects a child brain through mirror neurons

• Finally, be careful about your child computer use and don’t let “virtual reality” come true
