Some people regard video games as harmless fun, or even as a useful educational tool. Others, however, believe that videos games are having an adverse effect on the people who play them. In your opinion, do the drawbacks of video games outweigh the benefits?

Video

games because they find it entertaining and harmless. In fact, they are considered to be as healthy and engaging as sports,

console games are effective in keeping children engaged in technology.

For example

Despite those

benefits,

video

instead

of doing homework, reading textbooks and writing an essay, they are unable to pass exams.

This

is probably the reason why many teachers and parents are trying to set limits on play time.

Furthermore

, playing

video

games can undermine their social skills. In the past, children interacted with each other in meaningful ways through a variety of outdoor activities, but now they are relying too much on

video

games to entertain and

therefore

do not need friends to play with.

As a result

, they find it difficult to start conversations and team up with others in the real world.

In addition

, gaming addiction may result in poor health conditions. Heavy

because they spend too much time sitting on chairs and staring computer screens. To worsen the matter, the rise in obesity rate in recent years has linked to

such

sedentary lifestyle. In conclusion,

although

playing

users.
