11. Should we have Video Games in the world?

I chose this question because as a gamer myself I have realized the true impact of video games. Teens all over the world have been exposed to all sorts of entertainment and today most money is spent on video games as well as the consoles they come with. Hours add up to days, days add up to months, and then people have wasted most of their money and almost a quarter of their lives. I believe that the world is better off without video games. Life is too short to have it wasted on games that will only waste our time and or our money. The newest Call of Duty just came out and do you know how much money was made? The game produced a total of 186 million dollars, just with America and Britain combined. The rest of the world as well influenced more millions. These Millions of dollars could have been used to help or save millions of lives in need of food, shelter, and medicine. I personally have wasted money on games which have led me to miss better life choices for my family and myself. Influenced at a young age it seems hard to ignore the technology that’s innovated to draw the audience in. Besides money is the poignant effect of the time wasted. Time can never be reversed as well as the results of our actions. Video games have kept us from spending family time together, doing homework, and maybe missing work. Time can’t be rewind; this time could have been used to help solve problems instead of making them. Many Companies would go broke and many people would be out of jobs, yet those intelligent people can have a better use for their power. Having fun is a necessity, yet the praise of video games is too much. Research has proven that video games have caused depression and more kids end up having glasses by their early twenties. Business is what our world revolves around, but money and time is more important in actual provisions. Technologies are a drug and the more we read books, play sports, and spend quality time with our families the drug can cease to exist.
