When
it comes to playing computer games, there are mainly two aspects. First, it has
positive effects. By playing computer games, many children can have much fun.
Second of all, computer games have negative aspects, which can waste time. In
my opinion, I think that the latter effect has an important influence on
children, for the following subsequent reasons.
To begin with, computer games are addictive and exciting. To be
specific, a number of computer games target an adult. Such games have violent
and suggestive contents for an adult. This means many computer games are
improper for children. Furthermore, game developers do not have mercy and they
try everything to keep hold their audiences. Especially, children have less
self-control than the adult, which cause them to be addicted. For example, in
the case of Korea, there is an innumerable Internet cafe. The visitors who play
computer games range from adult to children. Children are the most common among
them. This fact means how many children are addicted to playing computer games.
Therefore, it needs for children to restrict computer games for not wasting time.
On top of that, computer games make children have less time to talk in
real life. Many households have parents both working day and night. This means
they do not have time to take care of children. Thus, when a child is left
alone at home, no one can control him. A child who plays computer games without
limitation takes time in online rather than offline. It takes away a chance
that interacts with other people in reality. For instance, when I was a
freshman at elementary school, one of my classmates aggressively immersed in
computer games. Due to his habit to play computer games all night, he often
slept and not communicated with other peers. He always attended school alone.
It was deemed a waste of time for me.
To sum up, computer games are harmful to children because it is so
addictive. Moreover, playing computer games steal children`s communication time
with others. In this regard, I think that children should not be allowed to
play them. |
