As a result these young people will more liable to have chronic illness later in their life. Thus, it is clear that video games would lead to negative effect on adolescent health development.


On the other hand, children who log in these modern media like internet and video games for long period of time would likely face serious difficulties with their academic performance. For example, recent American study on 2014 shows there is negative correlation between the amount of time spending on video games and student school marks. As people educational process would be affected badly with prolong exposure to these electronic games. Thus, the negative ramification of video games on academic achievement can be seen clearly.
