Games

Video games have been popular to children and young adults for many years. These video games can be fun, challenging, scary, etc. Now not only young people are crowding around games anymore. Now even adults and seniors are playing video games day and night. Why the sudden change? It is because technology has grown since past generations. Now game systems have the ability to help the human mind and the human body become stronger and more flexible.

In Hong Kong video games have been really popular for a while now. Almost everyone has to have a game boy or psp along side with them or else they would not feel comfortable. Professors in Hong Kong has done a lot of research and the results show that in a group of 6 people, at least 1 will be playing a game. Interview results also show that each person that gets addicted to these games, will play for at least 3-4hours straight. Almost everywhere you go you'll see someone holding a game with them and never taking their eyes off it until they win the next round or so. Even though these people are playing games just for the heck of it, many hospitals are using games to treat people with mind problems (the ones who can't think straight). Games are even being used in senior homes for the seniors' enjoyment.

For the game addicts that "sit" around games too long can be helped by please even "more" games. The Wii can help them exercise their body losing the excess fat that they do not need or want. Some brain games on the Wii can also help the ones that do not use their brain too much or never at all.

In conclusion, video games can be sometimes bad for you. But now, not all video games can do people any harm if they use them properly.
