Annotated 2

i went on google and typed in gaming effects on children and i had clicked the first link(http://www.pamf.org/preteen/parents/videogames.html).  it starts off by saying there has been gaming around for about 30 years and i thought to myself. why has more problems been occuring on children these days when there were video games before we were even born. i feel as if there are more reasons is because now a days every kid has a gaming device and is constantly playing it. also in the past the kids were more active and not every kid had a gaming system to always play. it then tells us about the kids having more agression problems due to the violent video games they are playing. they are also more prone to more confrontations, fight more often, and had harder times dealing with school/grades. the site then gives me very informational facts on how to stop and catch the problem by telling parents what not to do with these gaming devices and their young ones. i feel as if this is exactly what parents need to know if they want to help their children out with their life. a kid will not just simply stop playing video games for the simple fact that video games are very addictive. video games can be compared to drugs and their addiction to these things, they simply just cant get enough of the video games.
