Computer addiction according to the Webster's dictionary is a relatively new term used to describe a dependency on one's computer. Computer addiction is not limited to personal computers. It covers video games and the Internet and has already been given a label by psychologists, namely Internet addiction disorder.
The researcher chose this topic to find out the effects of computer games to the academic performance of the students, and to know the perception of the respondents and the way they interact with to their problem and gain knowledge about the problem that the researchers may face someday. As a student the researcher are also concerned to its fellow students to help them and give them ideas about the effects of computer games.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Computer before was only used by some companies. But now, with the use of modern technology, games in the computer were created. There are two types of games, the online and offline games.
The first computer game is generally assumed to be the game Spacewar!, developed in 1962 at MIT. Spacewar originally ran on a PDP-1 computer the size of a large car. By today’s standards, the graphics are rather primitive, although less primitive than many games form the 1980’s. The game as such is not bad: Two players each control a spaceship circling a planet. The players can shoot each other, turn their ships, and accelerate. The goal is - naturally - to hit the other player before being hit yourself.
