Since we were children, we have been told that video games are a bad influence for us, but is that true? Let’s see if they are an encumbrance that we should ban.

   First of all, we should ask ourselves why they are so controversial. So let’s begin with the negative aspects they have. Playing video games may cause addiction, it means that, the time you waste playing, you can’t do other activities like meeting friends or do some sport, etc. For this reason, people that play this kind of games could end up being isolated. In addition, you get fat and stressed, which is a good combo to get a heart attack. Moreover, they promote violence and change people’s behaviour. Finally mostly those who play more video games are young children. So, at least, it’s a matter of concern.

   In my opinion, the media, parents, schools and the government should promote other activities like: performances, concerts, castings like “Tu si que pots” or sports, going camping… And try to regulate video games, but never forcing people, because it causes the opposite effect.
