Many adults nowadays prefer spending their free time playing computer games. Why do they do this? Is this a positive or negative development?

Questions are being raised in

this

day and

time

on whether the majority of the grown population spending their leisure

time

on

computer

games

gives benefits or does the opposite. Some

also

question why the population has led to

this

. In my mind,

this

is undeniably due to the current

time

and situation, and

this

might affect most negatively in the long run.

Firstly

, most

people

play

computer

games

as they have to spend most of their

time

at home, especially during

this

pandemic. As technology and

games

have been designed to mimic new, fun and adventurous experiences through playing, it is not unusual for most to turn heads towards it during

this

time

.

In addition

, especially for those who live alone, new contacts and friends could be made through multiplayer

games

.

Thus

, as a consequence,

people

gave most portions of their leisure to

computer

games

.

Although

this

can be a temporary coping mechanism for

people

during

this

hardship, negative effects are undeniably present,

such

as the populations being subjective to game addiction, having an unhealthy diet and sleep and losing touch with close family members and friends.

For instance

, a recent survey suggests that most adults with game addiction may be exposed to diabetes, migraine and other adverse health condition in the long term. To be sure,

games

could bring tons of benefits, but if it is not dealt with to some extent, the impact would be destructive, affecting one's health. To conclude, most adults are definitely in favour of

games

that give fun and adventurous experiences these days.

However

, it should be considered a negative development as drawbacks will surely outweigh the benefits if

people

are addicted to

computer

games

.
