Topic 2:

In these modern time, access to computers on a vast base is available to a large

number of people. It is said that a lot of children play computer games. In this
essay, I will discuss the causes and also provide the effects of a rise in the number
of children who play video games.

To begin with, children are becoming increasingly addicted to gaming as a result

of their families' lack of attention and sharing. For example, when children are
bored and want to play with their parents, but their parents are too busy with work
to do so, they can only provide them electronic gadgets, resulting in an increase in
the number of children playing video games. Moreover, psychological issues
throughout puberty, such as a desire to express one's ego but not being supported
by family, feelings of loneliness, and discontent with one's life, are other factors in
game addiction of children. Finally, the lack of healthy space also leaves children
without a healthy entertainment environment like folk games.

Obviously, playing computer games is one of the best hobbies among the young
and children. Therefore, they can enjoy them in their leisure time. For instance,
after doing lots of tasks, which are boring, they need to rest and take pleasure in
such entertainment. On the other hand, computer games, like everything else
related to cyber have some harmful influences. Since these games are addictive,
young teenagers playing and wasting lots of time on such games become addicted
to them.

In conclusion, technology is developing and it creates a different kind of games on

a computer. Due to children have more choice, it is more easier interested in
playing computer games than the last generation.
