. By- Heena Shrimali

This is an age of digital world most of the people in this world love to play video games. Video
games waste a lot of time. Gamers get too much involved in the game that they stop social
interaction, which cause social problem like, the gamer becomes shy and introvert.
The games which are played now-a-days are violent leading gamer with the tendency to lose
control and become more aggressive. These games make the gamer mentally weak because
they spent so much time in front of the screen which causes anxiety. It can also affect their
sleep and eyes. It also makes them physically weak because when they are playing video
games they just comfortably sit at one place and no physical activity is done at that time. This
leads to obesity and unhealthy lifestyle.

While playing, the gamers are so much involved in it that they forget about their health.They
stop exercising and keep eating junk food which effect their health.

The worst part of this is that some people are so much addicted with the recreation that they
forget about the difference between the real life and the game life.
