Ielts Essay - Electronic Games 
Information technology has revolutionized every walk of life and games for children are no exception. Even though there are obvious reasons for kids choosing these over other kinds of games and toys, certain associated benefits and drawbacks cannot be ignored.

The children are more inclined to choosing electronic, video and computer games due to the fact that these offer freedom of sorts to the children. The kids often find themselves cornered by parents, when it comes to deciding about what to wear, how to behave, whom to befriend. Parents have become overprotective and their constant monitoring of the kids has raised the stress levels among the kids. These handy gadgets, available round the clock within the homes and under the ever policing eyes of parents, tend to be the best options and companions. Kids, at least, do not have to ask their parents, and these hand held, or desktops gadgets can easily compensate for the carefree leisure time the kids have to forego.

These modern devices and activities are highly beneficial for the kids since they are developed as educative concepts. The developers of the games and activities always target development of cognitive skills and logic of the kids. Each game is equipped with fresh content that can send the adrenaline rushing, and involve kids more deeply. Many games and activities are planned and designed for delivery of syllabus and course content that raises the interest of kids in studies.

However, there is darker shade to this development since the kids have been found to become addicted to these, and they tend to sacrifice socialization and even some really critical activities, like sleep.

To conclude, I feel even though  electronic games are laden with advantages, people should prudently choose these for kids.
