Goodmorning/afternoon adjudicator(s), time keeper, chairperson, the opposing team,and of course the wonderful members of the audience. My name is Connor, and Iam the third speaker for the affirmative team. Asyou should know, these are my teammates Ashish and Adil.

The topic for this debate is ‘The PlayStation has destroyed the playground’, and we, the affirmative team, absolutely believe that this is 100% true!Butfirst, I have to point out the embarrassing errors of the negative team.

Ourfirst speaker, Ashish, has stated that YES, the PlayStation is statisticallyreplacing the playground. The Wii has 3 times the sales as Latin America hasannual theme park visitors. I could probably find more people on the internetin 3 seconds than I could if I played in my local playground for 3 daysstraight.

Hehas also stated that it can stress kids out. The only thing you have to worryabout when you are on the playground is falling off the slide. Now, with onlineinteraction, you have to worry about cyberbullying, getting hacked, the cost ofgames, getting sensitive information leaked, and so much more.

Which would you prefer; worryingabout accidentally walking onto the playground, or worrying about a myriad ofimportant things? Oursecond speaker, Adil, has stated that kids get addicted to video games. I mean,when are you going to go to the playground if you’re about to level up in Callof Duty?

Maybewe’d be better off without the constant need to be better in games? NO WE NEEDTHINGS TO SHOW HOW AWESOME I AM AT QUICKSCOPING NOOBS SCREW OUTSIDE. He hasalso stated that physical and mental growth is at risk. The Royal Children’sHospital has stated that over 60% of all stunted mental growth has been theresult of playing video games.

I don’t know about you, but Iwould like to focus on things other than getting to the next level of DOOM.So adjudicator(s), time keeper, chairperson, theopposing team, and of course the members of the audience, I believe that I havetruly made you believe that PlayStation has destroyed the playground.

Iwill now leave you with these few words; “PlayStation’s slogan is ‘GreatnessAwaits’, but we all know Sony exaggerates.” Thank you.
