IMPACT OF COMPUTER GAMES ON SOCIETY
Excessive playing times
Since games are always evolving and become more interesting it
is quite easy for players to get addicted and forget about the
privileges in their life. Spending too much time playing games can
affect your health, social life and it might lead up to losing your
job or being kicked out of school due to your attendance. After a
long gaming session that kept you awake the whole night, the
probability of you being able to get back to your real life (going to
school/work) it’s truly low. There are plenty of cases where people
that got addictive to video games ended up having regular
headaches, eye strain or even carpal tunnel.
Social isolation
