Introduction
‘Play’ is instinctive and essential to human nature, regardless of age and time. In the modern days, children love playing with toys in their rooms, teenagers are playing video games and staring at their 3C products, while old people like to play chess. Back in ancient times, children would also play games, like cricket fight. Apart from playing for fun, games can also be used for learning purposes. For example, you might still remember your kindergarten teachers played games with you while you were learning vocabulary. It is not exaggerating to say that play occupies an important role in human development.
Since the outbreak of the covid pandemic, social distancing has to be observed all the time. Some cities even experienced total lockdown. Children cannot go to school to meet, hang out and play with their classmates. This unprecedented pandemic is casting a shadow on our daily social life, and thus, on our mental health. On the other hand, society is concerned by the debate of whether gaming is good or bad for teenagers. The colloquium explores the effects brought on by gaming and play, and how they affect individuals and society.
