Video Game Addiction

"Video Game Addiction." The parent report radio show. Theparentreport.com. Web. .
This article talks about how video games can and do become addictive to many people. The intensity and excitement often create an addiction to the game itself. The way to prevent this addiction is to create a balance in your life or your children's lives so this cannot occur. Video games can be educational so therefore not all of it is bad, but for sure some may be very violent and inapropriate. By making sure you keep up on other hobbies like reading, or playing a sport, you can reduce the time and chance of becoming addicted to a video game.

I think this article has truth to it, but I think they're missing an important component to the subject of video games. There are many games that are completely inapropriate for people of all ages, but especially for children and teenagers. Those games have been involved in many studies and experiments that have proven their effect on the gamer has been for the worse. Games can be very addictive and can develop an unhealthy state of mind for anyone viewing or playing.
