Imidlalo yevidiyo yangena endlini yethu yokuhlala nasezindleleni zethu zokuphila cishe eminyakeni engama-50 edlule. Ngenxa yokuthi isikhathi semidlalo sithuthukile, abantu bakhombe njengento engenzeka yebhizinisi. Ngokwenza imali njengomgomo owodwa, umqondo wabathuthukisi begeyimu ufanelekile ukwanelisa izifiso ezilula zabantu - udlame, inhlamba kanye nokuhlanekezela. Nokuthi bebekhipha imali yabo enyanyekayo entsheni engaqaphile kodwa ethatheka ngendlela emangalisayo iningi lale minyaka. Ucwaningo olwenziwa ngokusebenzisa amabhizinisi afana nenhlangano yezengqondo yaseMelika, i-yank Academy of Paediatrics kanye nenhlangano yezokwelapha yaseMelika iphethe ngokuthi kunobufakazi bokuqomisana okunenjongo phakathi kodlame lwethelevishini nolaka iningi lentsha elibukelayo.
Abenzi balobu bugebengu bokufaka ushevu ezingqondweni ezisencane bangase baphikise ngokuthi manje abacindezeli impahla yabo futhi bakhokhisa umkhiqizo wabo ngokweziqondiso ze-Enjoyment Software rating Board (ESRB). Kodwa uphenyo lweFederal exchange Commission olulandela ikolishi eliphezulu laseColumbine ukuthatha izithombe luphethe ngokuthi “Emidlalweni ye-elekthronikhi engu-118 enamaphuzu Abadala odlame ikhomishini enqume ukuyibheka, u-83 noma u-70%, ugxile entsheni engaphansi kweminyaka engu-17 ubudala. izithameli eziqondiwe.” Futhi okuxakayo ukuthi iningi lobaba nomama, abanesibopho sokugcina ezigcemeni zabo, abaziboni izilinganiso ze-ESRB.
Ucwaningo* lufakazele ukuthi abafana badlala imidlalo yevidiyo cishe amahora ayi-13 ngesonto. Kunqunywe ukuthi intsha edlala imidlalo yevidiyo enodlame ibonakala 1. Ulaka olwengeziwe 2. Ukungavumelani nabafundisi 3. Ukulwa nontanga yabo 4. Ukuncipha kwezimpumelelo zasekolishi. Konke lokhu kuthonya ubuntu jikelele bomntwana ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Ingane iba umuntu omdala ongadlali eqenjini, ongenandaba nabanye abantu futhi ongawathandi amasiko nemikhuba.
Isixazululo sakho konke lokhu singaba sekwenqabeni ngokuphelele imidlalo yevidiyo ekhaya. Kodwa-ke, lokho kungase kungenzeki kakhulu, uma kubhekwa ukuthandwa kwemidlalo yevidiyo kanye nengcindezi kontanga. Ngakho-ke, kufanele kumiswe imithetho eqinile mayelana nokumakethwa kwemidlalo yevidiyo yabantu abadala ezinganeni. Ibhizinisi lingase futhi liphikisane ngokuthi lihlukumeza amalungelo abo, kodwa-ke, kusukela manje, isiphetho senkathi encane sibaluleke kakhulu kunokufaneleka ukwenza ibhizinisi lezohwebo ukusetshenziswa kwezihibe ngaphakathi komthethonqubo. Kodwa-ke, kungenzeka ukuthi manje akumele kube nomthwalo wemfanelo embonini yonke ngokukhula kwengqondo enolaka nedelela yabantu abasha. Kunemidlalo eminingi ehlekisayo ngempela ukuyidlala futhi ukuyidlala ingaba wusizo kubantwana. Izingane zingafunda ukuxazulula izinkinga kanye nezinhlelo zokwenza amasu.
Ngakho-ke, impendulo yesandla esisele ingaphakathi ezingalweni zabazali. Abanakekeli kufanele babone ukuthi izingane zabo zigembulani kumakhompyutha noma kuma-consoles. Kufanele bathole umshini wokushaya amagoli futhi babone ukuthi ingane yabo idlala kahle kakhulu lokho okukhuthazwe iminyaka yayo. Ngisho noma kungenakwenzeka ukuvimba imidlalo yevidiyo ngokuphelele, kungaba ubuhlakani ukunciphisa isikhathi izingane ezisitholayo ukuze zidlale imidlalo.
Mhlawumbe esikhathini esizayo, umthwalo wemfanelo ohlangothini lwemboni yemidlalo nokwandisa ukuqwashisa kwabazali kunganqanda umonakalo.
