Playing violent computer games can make you care less about violence in real life, according to a study that was conducted by psychologist Bruce Bartholow from the University of Missouri-Columbia.

First, researchers monitored a group of people playing games which featured brutal killings and high-powered weapons. The second step was to show them pictures of real violence and they found that the participants were not as shocked as expected. Meanwhile, researchers monitored their brains. Next, the group saw disturbing pictures and then they were very shocked. The scientists recorded how the pictures affected the people by studying a certain type of brain activity, which measures the effect a picture has on the brain.

The researchers concluded that violent games are unhealthy for teenagers and other people because they truly make them more aggressive.

50 years ago, radio was very important because it broadcasted the information from other parts of the world. The radio was used by people in war, in the cities, in the post-war period... Now, the radio hasn’t got the same importance as before, but it’s still used by people who want to listen to music, hear the news and quiz shows. I think that radio is an influential tool because when we listen to it we hear the opinion of the people who talk in their radio programmes. I think that in the future, the radio will disappear because everybody watches television more than they listen to the radio so it will be not as important as TV.
