The Internet is now changing the world. Before in the early 1980's, people would have to go to the library to check out a book to get some information. Nowadays, all the knowledge of the world is now at our finger-tips. Now, if you need information, lets say about Real Estate, you can go to Google, type in Real Estate, and viola. There are millions or results. You can get info about pricing of houses, where there are available houses, etc. Also, the Internet is now providing Entertainment. Before in the old days, we would probably go to the park and run around, right? Now, there are online games such as Guild Wars, Runescape, Maple Story, etc. The games are infamously known for being addictive. There was an article published saying that a seventeen-year old boy started to curse at his parents for taking away a more popular game known as World of Warcraft (WOW.) So in my opinion, if you have a son/daughter that plays video games, I advise that you take them away before things get out of hand.
