I have used the internet for variety of things consist on chatting, shopping, gaming, and massage boards but I have never used for online dating service. To be honest, I do not know anyone who has used Online dating service, as far I have know. The messenger I have used is AIM and MSN because I usually go on to chat with my friends from other school and people rarely see in my daily life. I shopped on various sites such as: Amazon.com, Ebay.com, Play-asia.com and other various shopping sites. As for internet gaming, I do have a steam account and play League of Legend when I am bored. But most of my video game time is spent playing on the Playstation 3 or Wii and using the online interface along with the console. I usually go on message board for information about my hobbies
I can think of a good example of a friend or family member who has an addiction to gaming, shopping, or dating sites on the computer. My friend who lives nearby me used to hate computer but his friend got him into World of Warcaft on pc. He played it like 13 hours per day. He started to talk to his friend about the armor and boss strategy and stuff. One year he had dropped out of college and plays the game all day. He still does.
I would have to agree that World of Warcraft has affected many peoples life negatively. It is really sad. Most of them enjoy the graphic and being away from society.
ReplyDeleteVery sad story about your friend.
