One of the things that I can explain it's uses for the easiest are video games. My parents have tried to keep me from playing video games, they believe that playing video games like Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto will lead me to a life of crime and murder, but just because there a violent elements in video games does not mean that people are going to do it, it can be used to help people.
One of the many things that people use video games for are for stress relief. If you just get off of a hard day at work, you hate your boss and you wish you could just strangle him, do not just waste the rest of the day feeling sorry for yourself. Instead, play a couple hours on a happy game like Pokémon or Mario. These games are not all that difficult, but they are fun and can take your mind off of the difficulties of life.
There is another reason that many people overlook when judging what a video game does for someone, some video games help some of your senses. There are video games out there that have so much going on on the screen that you are forced to focus on certain things. One game, for example, called Geometry Wars Evolved 2. This game has small shapes flying towards your ship while you shoot at them, and when you shoot them, many rainbow colored explosions appear on-screen. About 5 minutes into a single session, there is so much going on and an enemy at every corner, forcing you to quickly think about what to do and get out of sticky situations like those.
