Перевод
В настоящее время современные технологии предлагают людям массу вариантов, как можно скрасить свой досуг. Изобретение гаджетов повлекло за собой появление компьютерных игр, которые прочно зарекомендовали себя в жизни как взрослых, так и детей. Сейчас вряд ли можно встретить современного человека, который бы ни разу не играл в компьютерные игры, или не знал об их существовании.
Бытует мнение, что виртуальный мир несет в себе серьезную опасность, так как люди попадают под игровую зависимость, и все свободное время проводят перед монитором. Дети перестают замечать все, что их окружает, делаются агрессивными и замкнутыми. Каждая новая игра оказывается лучше предыдущей, и захватывает новыми героями, уровнями сложности и победами. Ребенку бывает трудно оторваться от гонок, стрельбы, лабиринтов и он даже не подумает, что можно нажать на паузу и продолжить потом. Он начинает жить в виртуальном мире, ему не хочется отвлекаться от игры, пропадает аппетит, нарушается сон, происходят отклонения в психике.
В группу риска в первую очередь входят подростки, на характер которых игры оказывают негативное влияние. В отличии от взрослых они не имеют чувство меры, и начинают сопротивляться, когда от них требуют выключить компьютер или приставку. Подобное увлечение губительно сказывается на учёбе. Дети начинают пропускать уроки, не выполняют домашнее задание, не хотят думать и размышлять. Грубо ведут себя с родителям и учителями, становятся рассеянными и невнимательными. Они ведут себя как герои-захватчики из компьютерных игр, а все окружающие для них - киллеры, роботы и зомби. У ребёнка теряется грань между настоящим миром и виртуальной реальностью.
Более того, если проводить много времени за компьютером, начинает портиться зрение, человек теряет в весе, возникают боли в мышцах, суставах и костях.

Whenever a broadcast basketball games, I just sit in front of the TV and watch the match from start to finish. The sport is a life and I really like it.
