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
