While the internet can be used for many good things, it does have some drawbacks. For example, Facebook has many games that you can play online, one of the most popular is a game called Farmville. In this game, you own a farm and it's your job to maintain the land, grow and harvest crops, take care of the animals, and much more. This game can be okay if you don't play often but for most people, this isn't the case. They become addicted to it and they can't stop playing. This affects their jobs, their families, and everyone else around them. The following quotes are actually taken from a Facebook Discussion Group, they show how people are being affected by this addiction.
"My mom's addicted. It's not fun. She's always playing and gets slightly rude about it. She seriously needs help. Farm Ville is ruining my mom and while she spends her time on FARM VILLE she COULD have been helping me write, but she apparently thinks that taking care of a farm on the internet is more important than helping her daughter do the dishes, or help her with homework. There should be a real Farm Ville addict group. I think my mom seriously needs help..."
"When you go to sleep you dream about your farm or lay there half the night thinking how to rearrange your farm for more space and getting up three hours before work just to farm."
