Recently, there has been a lot of talk about the hottest new mobile game. Anyone between the ages of 10 or 32 have either talked about it or constantly play the game on their way to school, work, or wherever they are going. The object of the game is to go around collecting Pokémon and battle them in places called gyms and train them to become stronger. This mobile game has been released worldwide and has resulted in many deaths and injuries. The game that I am talking about is Pokémon Go. The game is very addictive and can cause deaths and even injuries as it has pointed out on the news several times a day ever since its release earlier this month. The game is dangerous because it causes people to be unaware of their surroundings. However the game shouldn't be responsible because it gives a clear warning as the player opens the game to be aware of their surroundings. Another reason why the game is becoming a problem is that the creators of the game have access to all your emails, your location and your camera because the game uses your location as real places that exist with in the game.

The latest incident for the game happened when a young male was playing with his girlfriend. The male was struck by another male because he was so into the game his mind was only focused on the game at the time. This incident should be a warning to players that if they are not careful the game can go from addictive and fun to dangerous and deadly. Hopefully people will be able to focus on their surroundings and things like this won't happen as they are playing the game. Although the game is constantly brought up on all forms of social media and even the news the game becomes more and more dangerous each and every day someone plays. Because of the popularity of the game it brings people to the question has technology became so advanced that it causes one to lose focus of the other things around them. It's quite obvious that the answer is yes. As the days go on more and more people become very easily addicted to this highly addictive game that has taken states by storm and has quickly become a global phenomenon within weeks of it being released to the public for everyone to play. The question now remains will people be able to control themselves enough to play in moderation and play more safety so they do not end up in either one of two places dead or in the hospital. To sum things up I can go on about how dangerous the game is but only the person playing it will decide their own fate.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
