And next we're going to discuss the negative impact, the first one is the problem of game addiction which ultimately reduces academic achievement because they really addicted playing games and forgot to study. Second thing is could make someone individualist, don't want to interact with other people, and the third impact is that it can damage our eyes, because we're staring at the phone/computer screen for too long and it makes our eyes tired.

It's a time between learning and playing, and you need to interact with others so you don't become antisocial.
