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

Many adults today would rather play computers

games

than do other activities to kill their free

time

.

Hence

,

this

essay will give a reasonable answer to why they do

this

and why it is a negative development.

Firstly

, most people prefer to play

computer

games

in their leisure because they can provide the same thrill and excitement as outdoor

games

.

Therefore

, it is pretty apparent that playing

computer

games

is convenient for almost everyone who would be bothered to do outdoor activities that cost money,

time

, and effort.

For example

,

although

a pitch would be needed to play baseball, most adults would play virtual baseball

games

online as it does not require a physical place.

However

, though it is a sign of the fast-paced advanced technology, I believe

this

is a negative development. Since

games

could draw humans away from proper communication and relationships,

this

could negatively impact one's social life.

For instance

,

instead

of playing

games

in front of the small screen alone, people could have spent their free

time

in friendly chit-chat with their loved ones, making them closer.

Furthermore

,

computer

games

occupying all of the free

time

can make one stray away from self-development.

In other words

, humans should spend their day for both fun and something worthwhile,

such

as reading more books and watching movies. To conclude, most adults play

computer

games

as they are too convenient to make them forget to give

time

to their family and self-progresses.

Thus

, most people spending free

time

on

computer

games

should be considered a negative development.
