SCHOOL TIMES :Victims of computer games

Our world has changed into one of computers. Computers have been playing a pivotal role in every field of the world. But, how are students making best use of computers?

Many students have been using computer as a game centre. Nowadays, urbanchildren are more engrossed in computer games than outdoor games. Such games are easily accessible in a small box. The absence of fatigue and no possibility of injury have drawn students to computer games.

Computer games are the easiest way to put an end to boredom and quite adventurous also. However, excess use can cause addiction. Many students have already become victims. Their routine is dominated and guided by such games. Once they leave school, they are attracted like magnets to such games. Once they reach home, they sit in front of the computer. These games ward off the thought of eating, studying and homework. Even a very determined person cannot get rid of the entertainment provided by the games.

Of course, computer games can provide us with lots of knowledge through fun. However, too much of everything is bad. Therefore, we must ask ourselves whether we are enslaved by the computer games. Last of all, computer games can become a friend in leisure but an evil in studies.
