DIGITAL GAMES AND THEIR EFFECTS ON CHILDREN

Abstract

Nowadays, alongside the development and widespread use of technology, the concept of the "digital game" has emerged. With easier access to technology, the popularity of digital games among children is increasing. Digital games appear in various forms such as console games, PC games, and online games. Besides these, it is seen that digital games are also played with portable technologies such as mobile phones and tablets. Children who enter the world of digital games find themselves in a different world. Hence, digital games have an important effect on children. These games, which attract children's attention, alongside their benefits, bring certain dangers and problems as well. Therefore, questioning the positive and negative effects of digital games on children has also emerged. The definition and types of digital games, the effects that digital games have on children were discussed in this study.
