Crazy Causation

Kids are addicted to their phones because of the increased mosquito population. It’s no lie that kids nowadays are glued to their phones. Everywhere they go they have a screen in front of them at all times. But there is a very logical reason behind all of this. The mosquito population has rapidly increased over the last few years. With the growing population, kids don’t want to play outside because of their fear of bugs or mosquito bites. Parents also don’t want their kids to pick up any diseases like Yellow Fever and Zika that the mosquitoes might carry. So instead the kids stay inside. However, being inside all day can get utterly boring for kids. You can only play the same board game so many times before it starts getting old. Outside, kids had so many options for what to play. Basketball, four square, tag, the opportunities were endless. Knowing that kids were stuck inside, phone companies started adding games to their app stores. Kids now had thousands of games to play just at their fingertips. No need for parents to go out and buy a new game for the kids to play. Kids would just sit on the couch and play games like Candy Crush and Fortnite for hours. No need to worry about the pesky mosquitoes in the comfort of your own home. But the games kids are playing can start to get very addictive. They start to advance to different levels of their games, and the kids just can’t put the phone down until they finish one game and move onto the next level. These games also update every few months adding new characters and different challenges. Updates help the games stay up to date, and keep them from getting old and boring. Now kids are addicted to these phone games and play them all day long.
