Nowadays, the use of video games in the population has been increasing in a direct,
strong and overwhelming way, changing the social and emotional reality at the moment
of the interaction of the individual in their social networks, presenting doubts, attention
deficit, concentration and lack of control of their impulses regarding to how the video
game is involved in the behavior and identity of the individual. From Social Work it is
important to address these changes that allow us to describe how the video game goes
from being a means of entertainment to a process of adaptability, necessity and
immediacy to opt for its use and increase the consumption of addiction that is immersed
in the development of the individual and changing daily habits, always evolving and
generating both opportunities and problems related to the use of the video game
