more common among children. These games are normally attractive and lively in terms of sound and images, and have virtual awards for winners for each task accomplished.

As a result

, young players, who often have simple awareness about the games’ values and want to keep feeling excited as long as possible, find it difficult to give up the screen for a long time.

Secondly

, because of urbanization, many cities today have lost a large amount of land to private owners or the industry, leading to the lack of public space for children to do outdoor activities.

For instance

, Hanoi nowadays has very few places for children to play outdoor games due to not having prevented individuals from occupying public land for business purposes for decades. If the popularity of computer games keeps growing, there would be plenty of drawbacks. For the children, they would be at high risk of having many health issues related to eyes and backbone in the long term. Many scientific studies have even shown that these children would be more likely to have diseases relevant to respiratory, cardiovascular and nervous systems later in life. From

In conclusion, the increasing popularity of video games comes from their attractiveness to the children and the lack of outdoor space for playing sports. In the long run,
