How does internet influence on elderly people.
Good news for all gamers! From a long time scientists are interesting in the influence of computer technologies on human brain's activity but mostly we hear about negative side like dependence from internet or game "fever". And rarely we can meet information about its positive influence on human brains.
Only recently they found out that internet search are positively influence on a brain's activity of elderly people, activating key centers of brains, which controls logical processes of mind. The most interesting fact is the regular internet search stimulates neuron actively of brain in those parts where it is detached while a common reading. Significant results of researches in this area give a hope to have a positive physiological effect and potential positive results from computer technologies in working with middle age and elderly patients.
The internet search can simulate brain activity, to train and even to improve its functionality. The simplest exercises of internet search (but regular) can increase brain activity even for elderly people. As you know - the ability of human brain to learn has no age limits.
They also found out that computer online games can decrease the danger on roads! How?
Recently one American company made an experiment: they sent one hundred thousand of game sets to clients between 50 and 75 y.o. Those PC games supposed to improve keenness of observation, to train memory, an eye sight and so on. The results were astonishing! 10 hours spent in playing similar computer games return the brain's sensitivity on 10 years back, including eye sight. So the common thinking that the human brain reaches it's peak and after with passing years getting weaker is wrong, because with some certain regular exercises you can keep your brains in a good shape.
Just like a body our brain needs regular exercises and care. Besides all what was said above - computer games improve a hearing, helps to get rid of fears, develop some skills for kids.
Though, "too much" is not good for anything, it concerns computer games and internet as well. To spend many hours every day playing computer games or chatting with friends will give an opposite result. So, know when to stop!

Strange achievements in video gaming field
Everybody knows about Guinness World Records book but not many of lucky guys can place his/her name into this book no matter how hard they try. Though some of people are really make incredible things in different fields of life. Anyhow online games (or video games) haven’t been considered till now.
Till then let’s see what we have:
The most spread character in video games is well known Mario which appeared in 116 different games not taking into account remakes.
The biggest number of players in multimode racing game was 132. All players where racing in TrackMania at once.
The longest sentence in the jail was given to Faiz Chopdat from UK in 2002 for playing Tetris on his mobile phone while the plain was in the air. It means, when you hear “please, turn off your mobile phone till the end of the flight” – so better do it!
The greatest number of item had to be collected to complete the game was in Donkey Kong 64: in total 3821. Players had to collect: 201 golden banana, 3500 colored banana, 40 banana medals, 20 banana fairies, 40 maps, 8 keys, 10 crowns, one coin Nintendo and one coin Rareware. Plus in this game there are endless number of banana coins, watermelons and earphones.
The smallest Tetris in the world – in Dutch Vrije University, on faculty of physics, with a help of microscope the game took place. Its’ teraminos were made of smallest glass spheres. The diagonal of each block was about only 1 micrometer!
The largest number of invectives was said during a game Quake III Aren which takes only one hour of playing. GVC team said 4397 invectives including a few round oaths which nobody ever heard before. They also used a whole box of computer mice, because they were hitting mice on the table each time when they are shouted.
The longest guidelines for games were made for the racing game Gran Turismo 4 in China and Japan. The pamphlet included 212 pages with catalogues of automobiles, introduction to racing physics and different professional advises.
The first game which inspired compositors to create a ballet was Dragon Quest. Please let me know if anyone saw this ballet, I wouldn’t mind to see as well!
May be the facts I was telling above will inspire you to create a new opera, a movie, to write a book or to make a new world record. Perhaps anyone thinks that he / she made a world record already playing online games or flash games or video games (it doesn’t matter) – please let me know!
