Spending too much time watching TV or playing video games can lead to some severe consequences

Spending too much time watching TV or playing video games can lead to some severe consequences. To begin with, there is a tendency for children to neglect their studies especially if they are addicted to them. This will, unfortunately, result in poor academic performance.It will also cause some health problems such as obesity, heart disease and high blood pressure due to a lack of exercise. Secondly, the isolation from their families could be another problem. Being indulgent in TV and video games, 7-11-year-olds are unaware of the importance of communication in their families, which may weaken the relationship with their parents and widen the generation gap. In addition, it will aggravate the social problems because some TV programs and video games contain some pornographic and violent contents, which should not be shown to young children. The appalling result is that an unrestricted exposure to these contents will be a contributing factor to bullying and juvenile delinquency.
