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

Nowadays children prefer playing
video
 games to doing some sports in order to spend their leisure time.
This
 is due to the factor that
computer
 games give more mental pleasure than any physical activities.
However
, I believe that
this
 tendency appears to be negative as it prevents children from healthy life. Many kids are addicted to playing
computer
 games and they consider it as a source of entertainment. But
this
 feeling of pleasure cannot be given by sport activities. Doing exercise demands more power and
as a result
, an individual gets tired. Apparently, it can be done for only entertaining purposes as children like to have fun more rather than to tire. In a reverse manner,
video
 games make children to enjoy more because they include a number of activities and options. For
this
 reason they are more popular than sports among children. In spite of making children to have fun, spreading of playing
video
 games
instead
 of attending to sports does not seem to be a positive improvement to me.
This
 is because of the fact that it causes to some mental and health issues. Sitting in front of the
computer
 motionlessly affects to the spine bone and skeletal system. As a consequence, it can be developed scoliosis.
Moreover
, looking at the screen without resting can contribute to worsening of the eyesight since the muscles of the eyestrain. To conclude, sport activities losing their popularity among the youth being replaced with
computer
 games due to the point of view of entertainment. Notwithstanding, I would say that playing
video
 games have detriments and does not make children healthy as sports do.
