NEED HELP ASAP, interview answers needed!?

Question

I need answers to these questions asap, I will appreciate all meaningful answers given and responses will be used for research purposes. Think of this as an interview.
Answer in 3-5 sentences (per question, 3-5 sentences)
1.) In your opinion, how do people get addicted to video games?   2.)What do you think is the primary reason for this?  3.) Is it worth spending time and money on video games? 4.) Do video games only do much as distract a person from their work/ studies?

Also, please provide your full name, age, and occupation.

Answer

1+2. In my opinion, people become addicted to video games the more they play it. They are so drawn to the game and want to play it so much that they lose sight of relailty and can only think of the game. The more they play it, the more it becomes part of their life. They think about it, want to rush home to play it, play it for hours, etc.THe video game makers want to create a game that they know will intise children who play it. Essentially, the more you play the game the more you become addicted. 
3. In my opinion, it is worth spending money on educational video games. I believe it is not worth it spending money on gun/killing video games. It all depends on the person and the financial situation of the person. 
4. No video games dont do as much as distractt a person from their work or studies.An educational video game is made for educational reasons and helps the player educate themselves and learn more. However, gun/vioelnce video games do distract from school work and studys since they are highly addictive and interesting. When comparing educational and violence video games, violence will be more appealing to the child since they are already constantly learning. Therefore, the person will want to play more of the violence video games. 

Hope this helps! Good luck :)

Answer

The first two questions make me query the voracity of this "research" as they appear to be the same question repeated. But what do I know?

1. & 2. The escapism of a film, where the character and plot development are devised by the player, the interactive excitement and vicarious experience accrued.

3. Is it worth spending money on films, theatre, opera or books either? Yes.
It is entertainment "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy!"

4. Only if the life they live is so proportionally uninteresting that they would rather play "Sensible Soccer" for 76 hours solid instead of revising for their finals.(But still getting a first!)
