One of the most common negative aspects of video games is the fear that children or even adults are not getting the necessary physical activity. The more time a person spends sitting on the computer or sitting on the couch and playing video games, the less time they are spending outside playing with friends or outside doing yard work. Basically the more time spent playing video games the less possible time to take part in healthy, physical activities. With the increasing amounts of obesity found among Americans today, the fear about the lack of physical activity is reasonable.
Along with the fear of the increase of obesity, there is also a fear of lacking social skills.
