Pokemon GO Love it or Hate it?

in #entertainment8 years ago

Pokemon Go, the latest craze to take the world by storm, even newer that Steemit!

So How does it work?
The simple answer if you sign up with the app and you chase Pokemon, they can randomly appear anywhere from your wardrobe to the middle of a busy road, yes they have actually appeared in such places.

Grown ups and children alike are walking and driving around the streets, phone in hand day and night to find these virtual creatures.

There is much publicity about this latest craze, both good and bad.
Personally the good thing about it is the number of people walking around with smiles on their faces, actually getting out getting fresh air while trying to collect them all.
The bad for me are the risks that people, both old and young are taking with their lives to catch something that is not even real.
Why did it take something like Pokemon Go to get people out and about in the community, walking, taking the long way home ? Why do people feel the need also to take silly risks..?
For me the balance needs to be restored between the two.
