yesterday i thought of taking a break and to move to a park for 30 minutes, i sat in the park on those grasses and i thought do people nowadays are addicted to computers, or being computer became a indispensable part of life. But seeing people who are addicted to games, chat etc , i do feel this type of computer addiction is harmful to society, what do u think about it ?

Well nowdays people especially the young generation is more addicted to computer compare to the older generation which they still chosing the sport to fill part of they golden year. Mostly the young genrration is losing their interes in sport, due the excitment they can find while charting and playing game in computer. This will hamful to the physical development if the youngster continue concentrated siting in front of the computer compare they increasing their fitnes througth sport.

Most of us are addicted to the computer and it isn't healthy. Because of it alot of us are overweight. We are spending most of our days sitting on our butts when we should be out doing things and burning off those calories. It's the same for those people who sit infront of a tv all day long. Plus it isn't good for your eyes or hands/wrist.

thats right games are major part of computer addiction, but playing games more than 2 hours will not be healthy, for example i play strategy games and i played it for 12 hours or something, at last i ended in having a weak and unhealthy body
