Change is inevitable however it is beneficial only when it brings good rather worst. With increasing modernization, shrinkage of open outdoor, pollution, crime and technology around us has increased the unsaid requirement for students to be more indoor than outdoor. For example, based on the recent study conducted by WHO shows that 37% of students prefer surfing and playing games on the computer rather than actual physical outdoor games.

Attempt 2:- Computer games are becoming a popular form of activity that students are taking these days than sports. With the advent of technology across everyone, it is now easier to say that we are very affected by it. Though, it seems to be fancy but not healthy for students who would otherwise play sports.
Computer games are the new world for today’s students. For the students, it is an ideal time pass and they are really fascinated with the world that these games provide. At the same time, these games do not discriminate and allow students to play even when they don’t have a partner, group or, friends.
As they are really accessible and available, they are becoming popular with every growing day. Moreover, students are able to even learn a couple of things from these games and from the world inside them.
Though it sounds rather convenient, computer games are spoiling the health of many students. Sports play a vital role in elevating the health of a student. At the same time, it allows students to gain skills like leadership, teamwork, and other social characteristics.
Students need to be educated about the advantages of getting out and playing a sport. Such motivations are required to be given by either their teacher or their parents. New and special kinds of classes in a school/university can be organised to allow students to try new sporting activities. Teachers can also showcase different case studies of popular sportsperson who they can look up to.
In conclusion, we can say that students need an external motivation and intent to play sports so that they realise to balance the time they spend in playing a sport and in playing computer games.
