With the advancement in technology everything has changed in life of people. Smart phones and other digital devices has drastically change the life style and habits of our youngsters. Once there was a time when young generation generally prefer outdoor games in their life .Because there was no source of recreational activities in homes for the young generation. Now a days with the introduction of digital devices I.e Smart phones and laptops, there are lot of entertaining facilities available for our youths in their homes. Generally youths of today prefer indoor recreational activities than outdoor games and sports. In our digital platforms there are plenty of games available for our youths. Some games are available only for recreation and enjoyment. But ,many money minting games are also available for us .There are several money making games like teen patti, colour prediction game ,dream eleven etc available for every age of people. Every year people waste a great percentage of money and time with the addiction of these games .However, these games are not totally fraud and deceive people. But the terms and conditions of these games are designed in such a way that only few get the chance for winning. In the greed of money people generally falls in the prey of this nexus of money game .The interesting fact of these games is that we can participate in these games with very meager investment. This trapping design of these digital game generally attract every individual towards them. Even the common man with limited expenditure can play these games .But there are very limited and almost negligible chances for all to get the benefit in these games. However there is no specific art or talent to win in these games. Only your destiny and luck decide the condition for you. There are millions of users of these games in our country. In the hope of slum dog millionaire generally people waste their precious money and time .Bitter reality of this side is that the designer of these games earn millions of rupees in a single night. How much tax they are paying to the government or licensing agency, nobody knows. We can say that it is kind of licensed gambling.
Other bitter side of this culture is that it promotes addiction in the minds of our youths. Now a days we have seen that incidences of crimes are increasing in our society. Mostly our young generation is suffering from the problems of frustration, anxiety and intolerance. Failure in these games is one of the reason responsible for these negative aspects among youths. At one side we generally give message to our youths that gambling is a bad habit. Even we quoted the example of Mahabharata to motivate our children. On the other side we are giving license for these kind of obnoxious culture.
The other harmful effects of this culture is that it effects the eyesight of its users. Because people generally children sit for hours and constantly use digital devices. Children generally avoid the culture of playing outdoor games .Due to this inactiveness and lethargic attitude they suffer in life .There is an urgent need to make a curb on this culture. Proper guidance and awareness is mandatory for our young generation in this direction. There is a common saying that there is no short cut in life to get the success. Then why our youngsters are adopting this alternative method for success. Proper guidance and counselling of youngsters is needed in this direction.
