Video games are an important part of many people's lives, and they're becoming increasingly popular. But there are also risks associated with video gaming, especially for children and teens. Here are some reasons why video gaming will take over our society.
They're Fun.
Video games are fun, and they provide entertainment for millions of people every day. There are hundreds of different genres of video games, ranging from sports games to roleplaying games to first-person shooters. And even though video games are often considered a "child" activity, they're actually enjoyed by adults as well.
They're Educational.
Video games aren't just for kids anymore. In fact, more than half of American households play video games regularly. And according to the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), there were more than 100 million active players in the U.S. alone in 2016. That's an impressive number considering that only about 20 percent of Americans own a console.
They're Social.
If you've ever played a video game, then you know how addictive they can be. It's not surprising that people spend countless hours playing these games. According to the ESA, nearly 90 percent of gamers say they play at least one hour per day. And while some people enjoy playing video games as a hobby, others use them as a form of entertainment.
They're Interactive.
There are more than 100 million active players worldwide who play video games every month. In fact, there are now more people playing video games than watching television. This means that video games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment.
They're Addictive.
If you've ever played a video game, then you know how addictive they can be. It's not just kids who are addicted to these games; adults also love them. And while you might think that you can control yourself when you first pick up a controller, you won't be able to resist them once you start playing.
