#children #adults #countries #video #games #people
In today's life,
people
 are finding new and different ways to remain entertained. One mode which has gained a lot of popularity in recent times is the evolution of video
games
. PlayStations have gained a lot of popularity recently and are loved by
people
 of all age groups. Some
people
 believe that
this
 evolution has happened for the good as it helps
people
 kill their boredom,
while
 others are of the opinion that the introduction of these
games
 has turned
people
 far from each other. In
this
 essay, I will discuss both viewpoints and express my opinion
how
Change preposition
on how
show examples
time
 management can help solve
this
 problem. To commence with, modern technology in
games
 has helped
people
 to interact with each other from all around the world.
This
 latest feature has led to a huge increase in demand for these products and
people
 are playing these
games
 at a rate higher than ever.
This
 fact can be supported by the sales of Sony Company (PlayStation giant) which have increased by 40 per cent
after
this
 feature was introduced in the market. In spite of the fact, that these
games
 have become user-friendly and are helping
people
 of all ages to increase their social circle, there are some
people
 who feel that
this
 change has resulted in a negative way. They feel that in a rush to make more and more friends through these
games
 globally,
people
 are getting away from their family members. Some parents feel that their children are not interacting with them and are spending most of their valuable
time
 on these gaming machines.
Therefore
, these
games
 should be banned. In my opinion, I feel that effective
time
 management is the key to
this
 problem. If
people
 are told to manage their
time
 in
such
 a way that their relationship with parents and relatives are not suffered, it will help
people
 to increase their concentration power and social circle.
