The Pokemon Go game is rapidly conquering the world. However, you should not succumb to the general fashion and download the game to your smartphone, because it is not as harmless as you might think.
Why is Pokemon Go harmful? Let's look at some aspects that will not please both users of the game and entire states in which it spreads like a very aggressive virus …
The harm of the game Pokemon Go for ordinary users is becoming obvious to everyone today. In the news and comments on forums and thematic sites, you can find victims of this game or witnesses to this process. The players began to get run over by cars, some were bitten by a dog, and some were even taken to the police. The reason is obvious - from a great desire to catch a rare Pokemon, players thoughtlessly climb into other people's yards, do not look around on the road, point the phone at a person who would not want to be photographed, etc.
Another aspect is the harm of the game to the user's wallet. Although the game is shareware, for the fastest achievement of the desired result, in-game items for "pumping" can be bought for real money and these costs are not as small as you might think. Another way to get money out of players is by purchasing Pokémon Lures. The money for bait is already budgeted for trade and catering enterprises - bars, restaurants, shopping centers and individual stores of various specialties are ready to support the interest of users in such a way as to increase their sales.
Many retailers have already announced promotions related to the game Pokemon Go - they offer discounts on goods and food, insurance for unwary players, etc., that is, they use Pokemon Go as an extremely effective sales tool.
The harm of the game Pokemon Go to the country and its most important institutions is so far considered only by individual conspiracy theorists, but these opinions cannot be discounted. Even those who do not really understand the technologies of the game and the interaction of the server and client parts of this application, they can imagine what would happen if the owner of the game gives access to the locations and photos of each player. The results will be no less interesting for the most serious organizations if they get the opportunity to direct players to the coordinates of their interest. Even if the player takes pictures of the asphalt and his own shoes, the coordinates in which he could or could not be, one can draw quite significant conclusions.
in Moscow, on the principle of the game Pokemon Go, a new application has already appeared that allows you to see historical characters.
