Video games..good or bad?

In the current world, many people talk a lot about video games and their pros and cons. Many people have studied this topic and have looked at correlations between violence and the video game play. When I was a child, I was not allowed to have a video game console in our house. Now kids have every game console available, an iPhone, and an iPad. They spend a lot of time with their face buried in technology.

Video games have their pros, but in my eyes they are only good for maybe a reward or for limited time only. The topic of child obesity comes up and many of those children spend a lot of time playing video games and not being active. This leads me to the cons. When kids spend their time sitting, they are not being active which is a major problem. Kids need a lot of exercise and activity in a day, which most do not get because of video games. I think parents should think deeply on the topic of video. Games before making the decision to introduce them at a younger age.
