Why can't people stop playing computer games?
The first reason is because they think they are magic. They forget that some one that works or worked for a company did the game. They also for get that no matter how magical it looks, the game is just a computer program made in C++ or something else. It is nothing but numbers that someone chooen to do that in that particular way and that can change it very quickly as fast as they want it, so why even bother with such games? Most people however, do not play for the game itself, but to be better tahn they friends for example. They don't care about the game in paricular, they only care about winning the game against their frineds, that's how it works. Not is it good or bad? Most of the times is bad because you can get addicted to play computer games against your friends. For the game itself or for winning it against other people, you are still playing it, aren't you?How can you get rid of such addiction? The first thing you need to do is to play some other game that is not a computer game. It can and it should be an outside game such as bycicle or something else like it. Don't go for inside games like saloon football because you are missing good sun in the air.. This is also a great way not to meet new people which is not awesome for you. If you go for a bicycle ride, you should take all precautions before, you do not want to end in a dangerous place wihtout being ready for it. It's very dangerous to ride your bicycle alone. Always take soeone with you, all the time, else you do not go alone. Deal. Outside sports is just the best way to get rid of the computer game addiction once for all. I know many people in my city that left the computer for the bicycle. Many people that instead of planning the next computer challenge, they are planning the next bicycle challenge. As you can see, this is many times healtier than the old challenge. Can you see how different and similar their are? The only problem is they can get addicted to the bicycle the same way they are addicted to the computer or they were or used to be. It's a good addiction I can tell you for sure, but you should always never do it for the addiction. YOu should do it because you want, not because you have to, that's the only way to make it make the computer go away with all the addictions once for all and all for once. Do not be another one that loves the computer.
