I have an older computer because i can’t afford a new one but i do alot of multitasking and playing games. Whenever i have to minimize my games it takes like a minute to do it. Is there anything i can do to make it a little faster. Any tips or anything would be appreciated.
Not just games, your old pc should clean up to make it faster.
Clean windows registry means faster PC performance. The registry is one of the most valuable sections of your PC. This is where important information and directories relating to installed software, hardware, temporary files downloaded from the Internet, created documents and folders, and other minor and minor applications are stored.
Over time, you install new programs, uninstalled unimportant programs, update software’s, install new devices, download files from the web, etcetera, hence embarking all records in the registry system. This is normal, but it is not wise to leave it untouched. Once in a while, you have to check and remove files that are no longer in use to maintain the speed of your PC.

My daughter is turning 5 this Thursday, and we decided to get her a Nintendo DS as a gift. She played with one that belongs to her cousin and loved it. She is just learning to read, so some of the games that are rated E are still over her head. Any suggestions about games that would be age appropriate for her?
here some:

I’m helping my sister write a paper for her college class. She’s doing the pros and cons of video games. We would reallllly appreciate all the information you could provide us with. The main question we need to know is how playing video games can affect your heart? Mainly how it could damage it. But we will be happy with any other information you can give 
Thank you!
Just search on the different factors that affect the heart rate, and blood pressure.
Much of it is due to adrenaline. When you are stimulated with a video game, it sends signals to your brain to speed up your heart and increase your blood pressure so your brain gets more blood and you become more alert for your game. Consider video games to be an emergency you have to be alert for. Fight or flight. It’s the body’s basic instinct for survival.
I’m just trying to explain it in simpler terms so you know what you’re looking for. You can get a much better explanation if you know what to search for online. Sure heart attacks can be a part of it. As the heart is stressed out by a precipitating event, (getting mad, emotional) it can suffer a heart attack too. You can pretty much make up a whole lot of things if you just search risk factors for heart disease. If you’re creative, you can link obesity, videogames and heart problems together. I can go on but I’m sure you already got the picture.
More pros: You can also do videogames as a sort of therapeutic pain regimen, as an effective diversion for chronic or acute pain management. It’s a totally different topic. But I find this one quite interesting because not a lot of people are aware of this. If you want more input, my husband is doing this as part of his therapy.
As a con, videogamers are apt to be lazy. They will not cook or care about their hygiene and settle for cup of noodles to stay alive. Relationships also tend to suffer as they become addicted to the videogame of choice and let everything else (job, health, family) fall apart. Think of it as an addiction, much like any substance such as alcohol, drugs and cigarettes.
