Band 6+: Many adults nowadays prefer spending their free time playing computer games. Why do they do this ? Is this a positive or negative development?

n recent years, it has become far more normal for most grown-ups to spend their spare time playing video games. There are two primary reasons of this, and I consider it to be a negative trend.

It is true that most adults are choosing online games as a pastime activity by virtue of easy access to such kind of games and busy schedule . In other words, the development of technology gives people the opportunity of easy access to the virtual games. Most grown people are prone to addict such kind of games by using their smartphones and laptops. The wide variety of online games written by professionals are bound to attract adults. Besides, hectic lifestyle may persuade mature people to choose computer games. That is to say, most grown-ups have no time to go outside and do outdoor activities as they have to work more than in the past in order to cover the daily expenses. After tiring work day, most adults can find to do outdoor activities and prefer virtual games.

However, in my opinion, playing online games may lead to bad consequences in the long run. Adults who are addicted to virtual games may face some problems with socializing other people surrounding them, and also this can lead to some health problems. As a consequence of playing online games without stopping , most people can fail to spend their time with friends and family and this can lead some adults to be abandoned when they need the help of their friends and family in difficult situations. Moreover, this addiction to computer games may result in worsening the health of the adults spent their time on virtual games. As they spend their time playing non-stop online games, they may harm their eyes. Also, their nervous system may damage from playing too much as they tend to forget about the reality and live with the games. As a result, they may find real life frustrating and can cause to disorders of nervous system. Considering all above, this trend can cause negative consequences in the long run.

In conclusion, the preference of virtual games by adults can lead to some negative outcomes in terms of socializing with their close ones and some health problems if grown-ups play these games excessively.
