Online game is a game that uses the internet network
to play it, where players can play together. Some people or young children
become more interested in online games, because by playing online game, they
can talk to other people such as a friends or acquaintances they met in the
internet cafe. But online games also have adverse effects for the players. The
effect involves several aspects, i.e health, finance, social and of course
education.
Health care is very expensive and it is important
for our body. Playing games can also be detrimental to the players health. They
can get eye damage, insomnia, and rarely eating. Eye damage is caused by the
habit that the gamers are too often staring at a screen which has a very high
radiation. So it damage the optical nerve. Players become Insomnia because the
players can spend hours to play the game than to sleep. Usually the players can
play the game more than nine hours whereas, we need eight hours to sleep.
Rarely eating is also included the effects of playing games because the players
spend more time to play the game and they forget to eat. Because of that the average game players have
less weight.
Financially, the players who play outside their
houses need a lot of money to pay the Internet fee in Cafes, moreover they have
to buy equipment for the character they play in the game such as weapons.
However, they must buy the game vouchers that the cost is not cheap, ranging
from 10.000 until hundreds thousand rupiahs even up to millions rupiahs. Maybe it is not problem for adults who
already have their own income but, for the children who are in school or who
don’t have their own income that is problematic. They could steal or sell items
they have to play the game.
In social side, the players lack of socialization
because they always play game without socializing with their neighborhood.
Whereas, socialization is very important for us because we are social creatures
who need other people in our lives.
In education, addicted to game has two effects for
students, that is make students become truant and seldom to pay attention to
the lesson. All of us know that education is very important, without education
we don’t know anything. But for the players who are very addicted to game they
prefer to absent than going to school. But when they go to school they seldom
to pay attention to the lesson because the players emphasize on game more than
their lesson, at last their school grades are down.
Thus, the effects of online games for addictive
players can be seen from health, financial, social and also their education
sides. I think you are allowed to play game but only for refreshing not for
addicted, it is very dangerous for you all.
