In some countries video games are fast

Japan, those who are under 15 years old are forbidden to use the public machines
at night. City elders across the United States are campaigning (呼吁) to restrict
their numbers, while the Hong Kong government is proposing to license (批准) their
operation. These video games are causing children to waste their money on them.
Even adults are lured (诱惑) into spending working hours playing them.
In Singapore, the battle of man against the machines takes place in
licensed amusement centers (娱乐中心), mostly located in shopping centers. According
to one estimated, each establishment can make between $250 and $1,500 a day. The
schoolchildren in uniforms there are not allowed into these centers. However,
one cannot help noticing that the majority of those who are often found in these
places are youngsters. Many of them are schoolchildren who have changed out of
their uniforms. Some play for the fun of it, others have turned them into a form
of gambling (赌博), and some are hopelessly addicted to (沉迷) them.
Now kids and adults alike play these games in the privacy of their homes.
Video game sets have invaded (进入) most homes. The question that must be asked
is: Have they any education value?
