Over the years, the video game has been growing and succeed in making its industry, the gaming industry. Video games become popular not just for the adult, but it also is played by many children around the world. Instead of doing sports activities, many people prefer to play video games, and not a few of them got into an addiction. Overall, this problem causes by things and has some impact on their life.

To begin with, I start with what causes this addiction. This addiction comes through playing video games very often, and we can only find it in the gadgets like smartphones or laptops. Nowadays, almost every person in this world has a smartphone, which is very necessary so they could do their job or doing online learning, and this what makes someone may leap into over-playing a video game. Moreover, another reason is a high number of free time. People who have no interest in sports or others leisure activities, many of them choose to dive into gaming activities, and over time it’s become their hobby and turns into an addiction. So the cause of this problem is misusing technology and boredom.

I am moving to the next subject, which is the effect of video game addiction. It’s affecting people's life by making them lazy. For example, some people who got this addiction, forget to eat, lack sleep, ignoring to clean, and hate outdoor activities. In addition, this addiction is easy to find in many children around the world. This is affecting their school life by making them have no intention to study and sometimes curfew to playing video games.

To sum up, gaming addiction is very easy to affect someone, and once you got into it, it's really hard to get out. This addiction does not only affect adult people but also hits children. So there is no age-free of this kind of problem.
