Video games do not cause violent behaviour

I think video games do not cause violent behaviour. There is no scientific or research supporting the idea that playing video games even bloody, realistic shooters leads to real-life acts of brutality.

I think that games improve people reflex speeds and adaptations speeds and skills. I believe that violence is not something that you can pick up your be teched, but it is something we are born with and learn to control over time. Gaming may cause you to rage sometimes but it doesn't make you violent if anything gaming helps you control the way we respond to things like dying in your game you're losing your game data.


Evidence shows that video gaming can affect the brain and can cause changes in many parts of the brain. Game addicts have functional and structural changes in the neural reward system. For example, video game use is known to affect attention

Young people react differently to violence and may become violent due to their young minds that are not fully developed. This is why games have age restrictions. Young gamers may develop violent behaviour later in life due to the lack of social interaction.

Keeping cows cool

Keeping cow cool
The last two weeks I and my few of my mates have been working on a solution for keeping cow cool 

Dairy cows feel hot much sooner than we do because digesting grass and making milk crates a lot of heat when it’s above 23c and 80% humidity they can't lose that heat fast enough so they start to eat less and make less to stay a bot cooler. With so many/ cow so little trees it is tricky for farmers to keep all
their cows cool enough so that feed intake and milk production isn't reduced.
    
Here the outcome
