As the years goes by, we witness the different changes in our environment, from the way

we dressed-up, to speak, to talk, to socialize and in technology uses. Which talks about computer.
Our are now living in modern society, therefore we use computer most of the time for our daily
lives. It has a great cost in every individual, particularly in the teenagers.
It gives them a lot of knowledge that helps them for their activities and assignment in school.
And sometimes they use to play online games. This is a video game that played over the
computer network, where the evolution of this games, parallel the evolution of computer and
network with new technologies improving. The essential functionality are needed for playing
video games on a remote server, it is where we play and having an online component that
allowing players to play against or cooperatively with other players across a network around the
world. In other world it is where they can found another family, homes and friends at the same
time.
However, playing online games doesn’t always give a positive effect for some teenagers. It
could be the gateway through failing grades. For they use to waste their time and money for
computer games, without considering that it might take away their better future. They doesn’t
care if it is having a distribution to them being a student of the thing that had been set in their
mind is to enjoy playing online games.
And if we will take a look in the continuous increasing of the rate of the active games
all over the world with the number of 2.2 billion. And then we couldn’t say that it has a good
influence for our teenagers even it has a good or bad reason why they use to play online
games.
 This study will help us to know what is the possible positive and negative effect

of the online games in the following.

For some teenagers, help themselves to control of using gadgets and playing online

games. Of course it will help on some teenagers to not be abuse and wasting their time to play

online games. Because some teens that are playing online games have a greater likelihood to

also struggle with depression and anxiety. They need a guide for their parents. That is

parents must discuss the problem before setting new rules and expectation for the child.
 The objectives of the study refers on addiction knowledge for us

to what might be the possible effect when a teenagers became addiction

in online games. We should know the reason why they use to spend

their time in this games.

And as our generation grow with the modern technology, we

must consider cause why does they choose to play online games.
 This study was focused on the teenagers that addiction to computer games
perceive by some student and teenagers in Atimonan, Quezon. This study will
guide us to know the positive and negative effect of online games.
Using this study, we will know how many teenagers can encounter the positive
and negative effect of the online games in our society. Although research is still
in its early stages, there is growing evidence that teens who are addicted to
computer games can experience a host of social emotional and behavioral
problem.
This is the common problem if the teenagers had no limitation of
playing online games, are poor effort in school, failing to do homework,
irregular sleep habits, poor eating habits, loss of non-gamers friend, social
isolation and anger or physical aggression when asked to stop playing. And
parent commonly disagree on how video games should be limited and what
are the consequence should be if rules are not followed.

 Research Problem is a statement about an area of concern, a
condition to be improved, a difficulty to be eliminated, or a troubling
question that exists in scholarly literature, in theory, or in practice that
points to the need for meaningful understanding and deliberate
investigation.
Research Paradigm it is based on specific concepts and proposition,
derived from empirical observation and intuition. Used in research to
outline possible courses of action or to present a preferred approach to an
idea or thought.
Conceptual Framework is the researcher's understanding of how the
particular variables in his study connect with each other. Thus, it identifies
the variables required in the research investigation.
 In the research of Randall (2008) on computer games addiction, they define game addiction on
the basis of the definition used by the center for addiction and mental health based in the U.S. the center
defines addiction as “A psychological or a physical dependence on something.” Individual with games
addiction can be said to have a psychological dependence on massive multiplayer online games or do
exhibit excessive or compulsively isolating themselves from social contact and focusing almost entirely on
in-game achievement rather than out-game life event such as academia, socializing with, family and
friends or sports.
Out games life should spent times on academia communicate with family members and sport.
But game life as more important than out-game life this means they spent almost all of the time. Randall
(2008) discovered the MMOG affected both social and academic lifestyle of students involved of the
surveyed data approximately 50% of MMOG addicted students were reported as actively engaged in a
physical alternation.
In May 2013, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) declined to include video game
addiction in the 5thedition of the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, concluding that
there was insufficient evidence to include it as an official mental disorder. However proposed criteria for
“Internet Gaming Disorder” were include in a section called “Conditions for Further Study”. The Word
Health Organization include “Gaming Disorder” within the 11th revision of its international statistical
classification of disease and related health problems as of June 2018.
According to the report, there are 2.2 billion active gamers in the world, of which 47%, or 1.0
billion gamers spend money while playing. These gamers are expected to generate $108.9 billion in the
game revenues in 2017.
 In the early 1970s, the PLATO time sharing system, created by the university of Illinois and control data
corporation allowed students at several locations to use online lessons in one of the earliest systems for computer
aided instruction. In 1920, PLATO IV terminals with new graphics capabilities were introduced, and students started
using this system to create multiplayer games. By 1978, PLATO had multiplayer interactive graphical dungeon crawls
air combat (Airfight), tank combat, space battles (Empire and Spanish), with features such as interplayer, messaging,
persistent fame character and team play for at least 32 simultaneous players.
The first video and computer games such as Nimrod(1951), OXO(1952), and Spacewar!(1962), were for one
or two players sitting at a single computer which was being used only to play the game. Later in the 1960s, computer
began to support time- sharing, which allowed multiple users to share use of a computer simultaneously. Systems of
computer terminals were created allowing user to operate the computer from different room than where he computer
was housed. Soon after modem links further expanded this range so that users did not have to be in the same
building as the computer; terminals could connect to their host computer via dial-up or leased telephone lines. With
the increase remote access, “host based” games were created, in which users on remote system connected to a central
computer to play single player, and soon after, multiplayer games.
Unfortunately, parents often find it very difficult to find psychologists who specialize in video game
addiction. Given that child and teenage computer game addiction is fairy new psychological problem, there are
relatively few therapist who have training or experience offering treatment. Yes, more psychologists are starting to
recognize the problem of video game addiction, but traveling across to meet with a specialist is not a realistic option
for most people. In fact, every week I receive messages from desperate parents who have unable to find appropriate
treatment in their city, state, or even in their country.
Researchers and social scientist have been trouble by video game addiction since the phenomenon first
presented itself with the advent of video games in the 1970s and 1980s. Today the term “gaming” has become a
popular term used by people of all ages, not just teens. Ironically, videogame addiction isn’t just for kids, either.
Adults can have just as must trouble turning away from video games as children do.
 This shows the Research Design, Source of Data, Data Gathering Procedure, Data
Analysis, Statistical Treatment and Research Instrument.
Research Design shows how the researcher delivered methods and procedures used
in collecting and analyzing measures of the variables specified in the research problem
research. The design of a study defines the study type and sub-types research problem,
hypothesis, independent and dependent variables, experimental design and it applicable,
data collection methods and a statistical analysis plan.
Source of Data is the one in which the data are collected firsthand by the research for
a specific research purposes or project. Primary data can be collected in a number of ways.
Data Gathering Procedure is the process of gathering and measuring information on
variables of interest in an established systematic fashion that enables one to answer stated
research questions, test hypothesis, and evaluate outcomes.
Data Analysis is the process of systematically applying statistical and/or techniques
to describe and illustrate, condense and recap, and evaluate data.
Statistical Treatment can mean a few different things in data analysis applying any
statistical method like regression or calculating.
Research Instrument are measurement tools (for example, questionnaire or scales)
designed to obtain data on topic of interest from research subjects.
 The descriptive method will be used in this study. The
descriptive method will use to describe the rate of addiction in
teenagers in Atimonan, Quezon as it exist at the time of the study and
to explore the effect of computer in our daily life.

 For the teachers that having an active gamer and being addicted in online
games student, we suggesting you to try to get closer to them and know their
reason why they used to waste their time, rather than to go to school. For the
owner of computer shop, you can declared that there will be hour limitation for
those who were going to play online games especially to the students, you must
un allowed them particularly in school days. For the girlfriend/boyfriend of the
active gamer, we hope that you were being a good influence to them, you must’ve
not letting them to be addicted in online game. For our parents, we suggesting
you to guard them in a way that they won’t fell harm, give time for them, hang
on with them, build a happy relationship with them so that they do not have to

addicted in online games because, sometimes it becomes their habit and it
gives them joy and happiness. Through this they forgot their studies and

Because some teens that are playing online games have a greater
likelihood to also struggle with depression and anxiety. They need a guide
for their parents. That is parents must discuss the problem before setting
new rules and expectation for the child.
