A pronounced trend in the development of modern society is its informatization, accompanied by an increasingly widespread and intensive introduction of information technologies into various spheres of human activity. Just three decades ago, it seemed that the computer was a complex and mysterious device of the distant future, accessible only to a select few. And today, thanks to its versatility, it is useful to a person of any profession. It is the versatility of computer tools that determines their developmental effect in education. Introduction

1.2. The influence of a computer game on the development of a preschooler.
Existing computer programs can help children develop memory, attention, learn something new about the world around them, introduce letters and much more.
Computer games will help develop many skills, but at a certain point, when the child has already mastered the toy, he begins to perceive this activity as entertainment. Play ceases to be an element of development, since the child does not acquire new skills. But any game, in addition to having fun, should teach something. By watching a child play, an adult will be able to understand when it is necessary to change a game that is entertaining to a game that develops.
By playing computer games, a child learns to plan, build the logic of elements of specific events and ideas, and develops the ability to predict the outcome of actions. He begins to think before he acts. Objectively, all this means the beginning of mastering the basics of theoretical thinking, which is an important point and condition in preparing children for school. The educational function of computer games is one of its most important characteristics.
Computer games are designed in such a way that the process of mastering them encourages the child to engage in research activities without noticing it at all: try, get information, clarify, draw conclusions, adjust their actions in accordance with the current situation. This can best be achieved if adults are aware of the problems facing the child at play and solve them together with him. Joint discussion and solution of these problems can become the first manifestation of the child’s research activity. Computer games teach you to do this quite quickly, and success in mastering game programs
in preschool age will help to master school programs in computer science (V. Motorin).
Properly selected game programs that correspond to age, temperament, educational orientation, and take into account the child’s inclinations will help to effectively apply them for the purpose of education and development. Games with research content are of greatest interest.
If game programs are selected incorrectly, interests may be crowded out: the child may completely withdraw into the virtual world.
