These days many children spend a lot of their time playing computer games but little time doing sports. Why is this? Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?

As societies have developed over time, we have witnessed lifestyle changes as well.

This

has

also

impacted the hobbies of the children, where they are now more inclined towards spending their time on computers playing games rather than indulging in physical activities

such

as sports.

This

has been due to easy access to computers which, in my opinion, has more drawbacks than benefits.

Firstly

, the primary reason for children being more occupied in front of their computer screens playing games is the easy availability of the said equipment. With advancements in technology, it is deemed absolutely necessary for any household to have a computer machine, whereas before these developments, children used to go out in the evening and get themselves occupied in physical activities.

For example

, a study conducted by Cambridge University suggested that the number of children who indulge themselves in sports after school have declined by

they prefer to keep them engaged in the activities where they are way less prone to physical injuries or any other dangers. What else can be considered to be safer than home?

This

is one of the other reasons why

this

trend has been on a hike.

Finally

For instance

of computers and changed behaviour of the parents are the primary causes of

Therefore
