People who are addicted to video games do not

not exercise enough.
Playing video games (even on the Wii) does not
constitute a proper physical workout.
Some people can become desensitized to
violence when they are exposed to a lot of violent
video games. There have been reports of
criminals copying violent video game crimes
(such as Grand Theft Auto series).
It can give people false expectations of real life,
as real life cannot be perfectly simulated by video
games.

21. Conclusion
• Ultimately we are promoting on the advantages of
gaming instead on dwelling on the disadvantages
• Even though the disadvantages may seem glaring
compared to the advantages, nevertheless, the
advantages should not be ignored
• From the survey, it shows that more than half of the
people surveyed spent a lot of time playing games
• Therefore, if all of us take precaution, gaming will bring
out more of the advantages instead of the
disadvantages
