The internet is something that has become daily part of everyone's life. People cannot get enough of it. It's easily accessible, through phones, computers, laptops, tablets, video game consoles, and even our cars! I have used the internet for shopping and gaming. The websites that I tend to go on when I want to shop for something would be Amazon, Ebay, and Newegg. As for gaming, I wouldn't say I am a heavy "gamer", but I do play games on the PC quite a lot, particularly Team Fortress 2 because it's very convenient, flexible, and significantly cheaper than console games.
When it comes to the internet, people tend to get addicted to it, and I happen to know someone who is addicted to the internet. My friend was not a "hardcore" gamer, but he was definitely addicted to a game called Defense of the Ancients. The addiction escalated to the point that he ended up getting suspended from school for putting off his studies to play the game. The suspension was a real eye opener for my friend, and it ended up helping him get a grasp on his life. He finally put off his addiction by deleting the game and found a part time job to keep him busy until he could go back to school.
It's good to know that your friend managed to avoid the game.
ReplyDeleteI had to delete Spider Solitaire from my laptop, but I still sometimes play it on other people's computers.
