Because it is addictive , and that is a big problem . Definitely there are greater things to do than just to spend hours and hours playing x- box all day long !
At least reading make you to enrich your vocabulary, isn't it?... Your comparison don't have sense.
Was you trying to make a joke of this??? Guess what.... it works LOL
Tell this to the children, no to the parents. There are out children that just go to the computer or x- box , JUST TO PLAY GAMES.. We are talking about games , no educative or scientific materials, that by the way there are excellent stuffs and they could learn something good for their education.
I totally agreed.... parents, who let their children play too much video games, are lazy and don't deserve to be called parents... Like my husband, who allow my child play after school 5 hours a day . It is too much, and when i want my child stop using it he bully me and shout up in my face :-(
