Some people think that computer games are bad for children, while others believe that they are useful. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of computer games and give your own opinion.

In the recent decade, with an astronomical development in the technology, we can find many alterations in the way the children spend their free time. To be specific, most of their hours are spent on video games rather than the outdoor games. Let us

first

Their deeper involvement allows them to test their ability in facing different situations. Depending upon the category which a child prefers to play, its psychological capability varies. In some cases, it assists the children in understanding the technology a step deeper.

For example

, a child who plays quite often can repair his remotes if any problem occurs.

doesn't require any prior knowledge or expertise in the field.

, too much involvement can result in the addiction, which reduces their physical activities and turn them into couch potatoes.

, people are losing the importance of physical interaction due to excessive attachment to the virtual world. Because of their too much involvement in the computer games, they loose some of the other productive hobbies

such

as reading books, drawing, dancing, etc.

Also

, the over exposure to fluctuating lights from the monitor can create damage to their vision at early stages apart from other health issues

as nausea and muscle stiffness. In summarizing both the views, I feel that the disadvantages overweigh the advantages.
