Image
When I was younger, I loved to play games on smartphones that were for friends because it was just a nice thing to do but interestingly when I got my own phone, this wasn't the case any longer. I decided not to play games with my phone because of some reasons I heard from friends. Some of these are:  It weakens the battery It causes the smartphone to freeze. However, playing games is something that can relieve stress, offer entertainment and also engage the mind in some activity especially if it is an action game. People say children who play very mind-challenging games get to improve their intelligence and it is very true. One of these games is chess which involves calculation and elsewhere it is like a subject that is taught due to its mental impact on the players.
