==Video games have been available to consumers for the last 30 years. They are a unique form of entertainment, because they encourage players to become a part of the game's script. Today's sophisticated video games require players to pay constant attention to the game, rather than passively watching a movie. This has both positive and negative impacts on players. Several studies have been published that explore these impacts on today's children. ==

Your cell phone starts to ring and you look over to see who's calling. It's your best friend. He probably wants to hang out. After all, it is Friday night. You think about picking up the phone, but you don't. Instead, you tell yourself, "I'll call him as soon as I finish this fight.” You promise yourself that you'll call him because, even though you go to the same school and have most of the same classes, you haven't really hung out in a while. You've just been too busy. So you promise yourself, "as soon as I finish...”

People who are addicted to gaming encounter situations like this all the time; situations in which they have to choose whether to interact with the real world or continue living in their virtual one. Sadly, the real world rarely wins.

Social consequences are a very real part of gaming addiction. Addicted gamers spend so much time playing that their personal relationships get neglected and sometimes disappear altogether. Among addicted gamers who are married, up to 50 percent report a strain in their marriage as a result of their addiction.

The lack of social interaction that results from obsessive gaming can have long-term social consequences. An addicted teenager won't develop effective social skills, which will hinder his ability to develop and maintain healthy relationships in college and beyond. Suddenly, he's 21 but has the social skills of a 15-year-old. He doesn't know how to make friends, talk to girls, or just "hang out” and enjoy people's company. The social awkwardness created by the isolationism of gaming addiction, unfortunately, feeds the addiction. The gaming addict will likely retreat back to his online world where relationships are easier and already waiting for him.

Other consequences are:

--- **10. Playing violent video games is a significant risk factor for later physically aggressive behavior**
 * ===**__Sleep disturbances:__** are caused, in part, by overstimulation of the brain. However, some people can't get a good night's sleep simply because they think obsessively about the game they're playing.===
 * ===__**Backaches:**__ Backaches are a common physical symptom of gaming addiction because most gamers stay seated in the same position for hours on end. The lack of movement causes stiffness and soreness, but could deteriorate into chronic back problems.===
 * ===__**Eating irregularities:**__ Eating irregularities are caused by gaming addiction simply because most addicted gamers don't want to take the time to eat properly. Rather than eating healthy, balanced meals, they eat food that is quick and usually unhealthy. In extreme cases, the gamer may choose not to eat at all.===
 * ===**__Poor personal hygene__: An addicted gamer is not going to take the time to properly care for himself. Showers, face-washing, and brushing hair and teeth all get put on the back burner. It simply** **becomes less of a priority, if it's a priority at all**===
 * 1) ==An increase in emotional disorder symptoms==
 * 2) ==An increase in and behavioral disorder symptoms==
 * 3) ==Declines in verbal memory performance==
 * 4) ==Somatic complaints==
 * 5) ==Attention problems such as hyperactivity, ADD or ADHD==

 * 7) ==Family interaction problems such as less positive parental relations==
 * 8) ==Significant reduced amounts of slow-wave (REM) sleep==
 * 9) ==Modifications in visual selective attention==

=**12//05//11** = =**By: Julian Andres Medina R.** = =//the impact on the children is a strong impact because most of games children love are action games, violent games and war because of they playing that and being addicted to them the impact on the children are their behavior health they lose all their physical state. Remember that in the 0-8 years the brains depvelops and get their bases on his 80%.And it is very important that children don't watch so much television and if they do its better for them to watch something educative. It is recomended for them to play and depvelop their motrisity and they wont if they are playing videogames. Sport it's a very important part because that creates fun and when you are adult you will have joy doing sport, but children prefer to be siting on a chair letting dry their water of eyes 5 hours learning things that won't be relevant to their life, in fact most of videogames in the world don't teach something to children. In conclusion it is the age in wich children depvelops, get their bases, LEARN!!!. And they pass it learning from a tv!!!. The solution will be to turn videogames off and parents teach their child's how to talk(IF PARENT'S DON'T TEACH// //HOW//=

=//TO TALK AND A TV DOES WHAT WILL BE THE FIRST WORLD OF THE BABY?): Anithing they see on videogames.//= // By: Julian Andres Medina R. // == http://www.techaddiction.ca/ Sumary: this will show some help to addicts.
