video
games
.
Otherwise
, a large group of
people
 has supported that spending hours playing
video
games
 can be harmful to the healthy brain. I believe that technologies
such
 as smartphones, and laptops have stopped humanity's life. Unfortunately,

academic years and getting divorced for spending many hours in front of

. Indeed, in my ,opinion it is the beginning and many bad situations can come real. In conclusion,
video
games
 should be like many years ago, used in leisure time.
Moreover
, that`s important that education starts at home and parents take care of the children`s schedules.
To conclude
, just like everything,
video
games
 could be a good device, since
people
 play them as a toy and not as a life extension.
