Blog Assignment #3: Video Game Addiction

What with computer games fascinates so many humans? Do they think that their lives are so boring that they must go into a virtual world? Is it really healthy?

It has to be something that catches so many humans. I personally do believe that it not is healthy to play too much computer games. It can lead to deteriorated social relations and health problems because it implies much sedentary and indoor life. Children who play very much can, for example, believe it is alright to fight to get what they want.

Yes, there are advantages with some computer games. There are games where the player is supposed to solve problems, which can increase your brain capacity. It can also be a way to get in contact with other with same interest and make new friends. I believe, though, that it is important to limit the playing and decide a maximum time of it. Parents should, definitely, make sure that their kids not play too much. The parents should also control what kind of games the kid plays; games with too much violence may be injurious. I believe that playing games too much can lead to an increase if violence among, for example, individuals with mental problems.

It probably is difficult to decide when the playing is taking too big part in your life, but a tip can be to ask people in the surrounding about their opinion. Do they think that you play too much is it a good idea to think over it. If you feel that your social life starting to get worse, and/or that you get health problems due to the playing can it be a sign of playing too much.


So, you who play much computer games, make sure that the playing isn’t taken over your life!
