Game Addiction Can Waste Our Time | My Entry for the Hive Learners Contest "W16E3"

Hello friends, all HiVE platform users, especially those in the Hive Learners community, Welcome back to me @rahmatandesti, I hope you are all in good health and smooth in your activities.

On this occasion, I would like to take part in the weekly featured contest held by the Hive Learners community, of course, if all of them are familiar. Because this contest has entered its 3rd edition on Sunday 16th, this edition discusses Game Addiction, a very interesting discussion because games are booming now and are in great demand by all from children to adults.

Game is an entertainment that is played by one person or group by following all the rules that apply in the game and the ultimate goal is to get victory and fun. We all know the game from our childhood. we know a lot of games that we can play there are physical games and there are also games that come from video games. Our initial goal in playing games is just looking for entertainment and fun, therefore almost everyone would like to play games.

Now the times are getting more advanced so that games are also constantly evolving. In the past we only played simple games on Gameboy or on PlayStation, but now we can play games on our smartphones. So that it is easier for us to access the games we like. However, the tendency to play games is not good because when we play video games we often lose track of time and it becomes an addiction for us, it is very bad and we should avoid it. Because if we are addicted to playing video games we will find it difficult to let go, we will continue to be obsessed with playing games.

Initially the game was created for sure to help humans get rid of boredom or just to fill spare time. Now many online games have sprung up and attract people to play, at first we played these games to fill our spare time, but now many online games require us to complete many missions and increase our level so that it is easier for us to play. People who initially just try to fill their spare time will be carried away by the flow of online games and try their best to complete all missions and increase their level so that the games they play are more exciting. so that they can lose track of time and become addicted to continue playing the game.

What we really love is that online games are mostly played by small children who are still underage and are often easily influenced to continue playing and that is very worrying for our current generation because from a young age they have been addicted to playing games and forgot to learn. This is one of the bad things about online games that continue to grow and produce a variety of new games that are easily accessible via smartphones.

For teenagers and adults, they may not be easily influenced by online games, but it is possible that they will also be addicted to playing online games. But now teenagers who have the ability can take advantage of these online games as a source of livelihood because many online games now pay their players and many online game tournaments are held at the national to international level, so that talented players get a place to develop their abilities. in playing the online game.

I think game addiction is a very bad thing because it can waste our precious time, but when we can use the game to earn money it is one of the most rewarding activities. because we work while playing but are paid seriously, namely working playing games and we get paid. That is something very extraordinary.

There is a very important thing that we need to pay attention to when we play games is that we must be able to divide the time so that we don't play games too much, but we can control the time to play, work and rest. If we can't divide that time, it will be something bad for us, when we play games more often and forget to rest our bodies will definitely be tired even though we get paid while playing games but if our rest time is not enough it will also be something that very bad and we need to pay attention. Why do we have a lot of money but our bodies are sick. It would be better if we prioritize our health above all else, because health is very valuable, lest we damage our bodies with little money. Be good at dividing your time.

That's my opinion about the discussion of this edition, hopefully it can be useful for all of us, especially myself. Sorry if there are words that are not pleasing to you, I am still learning so that in the future it will be better. All constructive criticism and suggestions from readers mean a lot to me. Thank you for visiting my post on this occasion, I hope you all have a nice day.

Special thanks:
