Nowadays, many children spend the majority of their time in playing computer games and hardly engage in any sport or exercise. In my opinion, I think it is definitely a negative trend and will discuss the reason in the following essay.
To begin with, most computer games these days are highly interactive and allow player to develop their interest in storyline and they can also change the character of the games by their own choice. For example, Free fire allows player to select different character that change the outcomes of the story based on the character chosen, which can trigger the imagination and curiosity of children, and encourage them to spend the whole day playing to discover all the story endings. The second reason for the popularity of computer games over sport is sedentary lifestyle favoured by large number of children, especially those living in big city.
For my perspective, computer games can have large effects on children. Firstly, spending too much time on computer games without doing any physical exercise will reduce children calorie as they only sit at home and play games. It also cause student to loss their communication skills. That’s why, it can be very difficult for the children to develop the ability to establish connections with others in real life.
In conclusion, playing computer games is becoming popular than sports due to interesting and attractive content, together with low demand for physical activity. I personally believe that this trend does more harmful than good and should be prevented to ensure the proper development of children.
