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

#adults #time #computer #games #development
Nowadays, youngsters are wasting their free
time
 on the
computer
 by playing video
games
. In my opinion, there are two reasons why
people
 prefer to use their leisure
time
 on
computer
games
.
However
, it will have negative effects on physical health.
To begin
 with, many
people
 play
computer
games
 due to convenience and
relaxation
.
Firstly
, adults work too much which causes them to get stressed easily, and these
people
 rarely have
time
 for other activities, so they choose
computer
games
 because it makes them convenient and
relaxation
.
Secondly
, due to the advancement of
computer
 gaming,
games
 are developed so adults can choose many
games
 according to their hobbies creating fun and
relaxation
 for them.
On the other hand
, spending too much
time
 playing
computer
games
 affects players’ physical health. It means there is no physical exercise when
people
 spend several hours sitting in front of a screen, so
this
 leads to symptoms
such
 as obesity.
In addition
, it can
also
 harm the eyes because they have to see the blue screen for a long period of
time
.
Furthermore
, if the players concentrate on the game and do not communicate with others or participate in any activities, so these can make them be unsociable
people
. It will affect their relationships like friends, colleges, or even family. In conclusion, even though playing
computer
games
 in their free
time
 offers convenience and
relaxation
 to players. Personally, I think that wasting free
time
 on a videogame is not beneficial, it will affect physical health problems and social behaviour.
