Pokemon Go threatens India
Pokemon Go is the one game that is creating the news in the recent times, continuously. Typically played on mobile phones, players use the device's GPS and camera to capture, battle, and train virtual creatures, called Pokemon, who appear on the screen as if they were in the same real-world location as the player. It is that quality in the game, which is make the users lose their conscious and falling in its world and thus meeting with the accidents.
In the foreign countries, the game already took away several lives and though the game has not come into India officially, few enthusiastic youths are able to download it with various strategies. This craze on the game, has now lead to the first accident in India too.
Jabbir Ali, a Mumbai resident, recently, was playing the Nintendo game on his phone for the first time, sitting in a car, and then an autorickshaw bumped into his Mercedes E240. This is now threatening the country and the police officials are conducting campaigns to spread awareness about the Pokemon Go game and asking them not to get addicted to it, so much, without concern of the surroundings.
When a game has so much of liveliness in it, playing it in the public places is definitely a threat. But who is going to monitor every youth playing the game on the roads. Then how about asking the company to close down the game? May be that is not right, as the company did not ask to play the game in the public places. So what should be the solution for this?
Probably, the government should come forward to move strictly against the people playing the game in the public places, treating it equally as minors consuming alcohol. Adding to it, several campaigns and awareness programmes should be conducted throughout the country, before more number of unfortunate incidents take place and worsen the situations.
