They have been part of the children’s routine nowadays. There are many types of games available for them to play such as MMORPGs ( Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game ), first-person shooter and strategy games. If they are exposed to this everyday, they will start to get addicted to it. The reason why they play the games every day because to release their stress when they are burden by a pile of homework. They are also obsessed with creating their own fantasy world in which the real world can never have the things they want. The video game will give them a positive effect when children are addicted to it which is improving their hand-eye coordination. However, there are also many negative effects they can suffer from it such as becoming an anti-social person, affecting their academic performance and adverse effect on health.

The first negative effects of video games addiction to the children is making them an anti-social person. When they are exposed to the video games frequently, they will lack of communication with other people physically. Even though there are some online games which enable them to communicate faraway from each other, but they are not communicating with each other face to face. Furthermore, children unable to develop their social skills with that, they have no opportunity to communicate orally with people. Lack of social skills may bring difficulties to the children in the future. Especially in the workplace, they will hardly strengthen their relationship with their colleagues.



Besides from making them an antisocial person, the children play video games over time will affect their academic performance, their studies show a longer amount of time spent affects it. Spent too much of time on the video games will also decreases their academic performance like some of the children will not complete their homework given by the teacher, the reason they do not want to do is because they too lazy to do the homework rather than lie on the bed or couch to play the video games, and also they will feel that playing video game is more interesting than doing homework. Furthermore, the children will straight away ignore all their task is given and revision in order to play the video games. In this case, it can assume that the children were addicted to the video games seriously, they will think that  video games are much more important to the homework for example like they have to fight a big boss in the games just to receive some rewards that are very powerful, so they will go back home and throw their bags aside and play their games.

Addiction to video games can easily occur when they spend most of their time playing video games every day. It can improve their physical reaction through hand-eye coordination if they frequently playing it. On the other side, it will affect their academic performance, causing an adverse effect on their health and implementing anti-social behavior into them if addiction occurs.
