Nowadays, children play computer games for long hours and they do not play old traditional games. What do you think is the reason? Do you think this influences children in a good or a bad way?

Computer games became a passion among people, particularly the children of the new generation. Although there are so many reasons behind this trend, I strongly believe that it will adversely influence people in numerous ways.

People are indulged in computer games, because of various reasons. Chief among these is addition to these games. These programs motivate pupils to involve in this more time by giving them new targets and scores. The competitive spirit in the younger generation likes to break each level and gain more points faster than their peers. Therefore, parents should keep an eye on them. Lack of sufficient outdoor space is another reason. Those who are living in cities, especially in flats, are facing this problem. Ignorance of rules to follow a game and absence of enough friends to participate in a game, further keep them on computer games. In the virtual world of computer games, they can express their suppressed emotions by beating or killing fictional characters. Lastly, parental restrictions to go outside home due to the absence of supervision and security reasons block children from engaging outdoor games.

Admittedly, whatever are the reasons of engaging in computer games, I feel it brings lot of disadvantages. Their participation in outdoor games will diminish excellent opportunities of mingling with peers in the real world; enhance their communication skills, and a good chance for exercises . These

may pave way to isolation and behavioral problems. Hence, the games take away long hours, they may have issues like bad academic performances and lack of concentration. Computer games are increasingly leading to obesity since these children are lacking exercise. Health problems such as back pain, eyestrain, and problems in fingers and so forth , may give rise to drastic impacts in their future life as well.

Computer games are now gaining ground among children. Children should be supervised and spend their time engaged in healthier activities outside of their gaming room.
