Kids or teenagers, who play video games, know the difference between fantasy world and the real world and they act accordingly. The United States of America’s Army is using video game stimulations for training purpose. Even our heath care systems have started to use videogames for treating different sickness and also in different rehabilitation programs. Therefore I don’t believe that video games cause violent behavior in kids or teenagers. Video game works as a stress reliever and they also helps in concentration and coordination.

I feel that a word with friends and scramble are great app for smart phone or for ipad because it competitive and also in helps in developing your vocabulary. For the ipad and iphone, there are lots of apps that can be used for education purposes for example the sky view app it gives brief description of different celestial bodies around us and its location too.
