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 negative development?

Computer

games have evolved tremendously over time and

thus

have become more interesting and entertaining causing children to often spend more of their free time on playing these games rather than doing sports.

This

could be due to the unwillingness and laziness of children to play sports. I believe

this

could have a very negative effect since children would suffer health effects like obesity and

also

will have very low social interactions. Since children play

computer

games at home, they have easy access to snacks whenever they feel hungry. So sitting for long hours in front of the

computer

and eating

of snacks and rarely doing any sports or exercises could lead to obesity and

thus

leading to depression and bullying at schools.
