Psychological Effects of Hyperactivity

As technology becomes more and more invasive in the everyday lives of individuals, the next generation begins to feel the consequences of such a strain on the mind. The youth of today has suffered many psychological effects due to the realness and developing technologies that replace other everyday activities. Video games that engulf youth for hours on end have increased the amount of psychological disabilities forming in the next generation. The craving and need for the virtual reality of today's video games has lead to the development of ADD, ADHD and other side effects in which are effecting the minds of the next generation. The acceptance of these video games in today's society is enabling the youth to continue to develop an addiction and thirst for these video games. With doctors being more willing to prescribe ADD medicine, there seems to be less of a drive to fix the true issue rather than mask it with the use of medication. Unfortunately, many are unaware of the fact that video games are a detriment to young children, and the need for awareness has never been greater.
