There are some disadvantages about
video games. Even though there are advantages, there are always disadvantages
about video games. Video games are entertaining, fascinating, enjoyable, and
fun there are some consequences about video games. I think video games, soda,
and junk food is bad for your health. Another disadvantage I think is not good
for you are staying up all night and not sleeping could hurt your health and
even your lack of sleep. Most of the
disadvantages about video games are hurtful for your health. Video games can
cause seizures, sometimes failing of vision, or less thought processing. Most
video games can cause people to become obesity from not exercising often. The
only reason you would become obese because some people eat junk food and drink
soda while playing video games. When you do eat unhealthy and play video games
non stop can cause you to become more obese from not exercising enough. I think
video games can mainly hurt your health.
The other disadvantage of video
games is it can cause addictive. Addiction is defined as "The condition of
being habitually or compulsively occupied with or involved in something." Anyone
who has really been into video games has experienced this. Kids and adults
alike think about getting home and playing games. They also spend a great deal
of time reading gaming magazines, participating in online gaming forums,
looking for future game releases, and of course, spending countless hours
playing games. When they aren't doing any of these things, they're wishing they
were.
Besides, video games are very expensive, it cost a lot of
money to stay current with the latest video games and hardware (console and/or
computer). Many gamers spend all of their money on gaming. For example, it's
not uncommon for a gamer to have 50-100 games that cost $40-$50 each. They also
often have at least 2 different game consoles and 1 high-end PC. This can
easily add up to thousands of dollars a year to maintain a typical gamer's
habits.
There's often a direct correlation with the amount of time
spent playing video games, and the amount of time spent engaging in a quality
relationship. In the most extreme example I could find, there was a couple that was so consumed with playing video games that
they ended up neglecting their 3 children — to the point that they were
malnourished, naked, and covered in their own feces. Although that's an extreme
case, I still think there's something to be said about people who spend the
majority of their free time playing video games. My guess is that they're
probably not dating or pursuing a meaningful relationship in their free time.
Other than this, video games can be distracting too, Avid
gamers are similar to people who smoke a lot of marijuana — in that they don't
get much done. Reading a good book, taking care of bills, writing an article,
inventing something, mowing the lawn, etc... are simply not a priority when it
comes to getting to the next level or finishing a game. Many gamers have things
they would like to do in life, but they never get around to it, because they
spend so much of their time playing games. Then, when they do have time to work
on one of their projects, they're too tired to do it, because they stayed up
till 3am playing a game.
Finally, video games can rob you of real life. Instead
of taking a trip, mountain biking, or hanging out with friends at a cafe,
gamer's spend their time in a virtual reality. Whereas real life experiences
bear long lasting friendships and memories, videos games do not. The only
pictures that come from video games are screenshots, and the memories that are
created from playing those games are ultimately meaningless. Living means
interacting, growing, learning, teaching, and loving — none of which can be
accomplished in the virtual wasteland of video games. Conclusively, I strongly
believe that the disadvantages of playing game are more than the advantages…
