Online Gaming : Another Shot at Internet Addiction?

-
Online Gaming. Nowadays everything whether it is related to work or leisure is connected to internet. Gaming has reached a completely different platform, with the prevalence of online games. These are being played by people of all age groups from young to old. The virtual world of online games is so overpowering that the gamers completely immerse themselves in it, least realising how much time and energy they are devoting to it. We would have a very common counter point to this serious situation, and that would be that nowadays online gamers are earning lots of money. However the point is that they are doing it at the cost of their physical and mental health.

It is the need of the hour that the present generation should understand that they must limit the amount of time they spend online. There have been serious psychological issues coming up due to unrest and disorganized style of living.

Here's hoping a healthier generation!

Happy reading.

First figure out which genre you want to go for. Then check out the sub category and then scroll all the available options, shortlist the ones you find appropriate.
