Nowadays, when we talk about internet, the first thing that comes to our minds is internet is the fastest and most advanced technology that enable us to have access to unlimited amount of knowledge. Through internet we can enlightened ourselves with current issues from all around the world such as wars, recession and many more.
First of all, there are a lot of ways which internet can be used as entertainment, for example we can even play online games to prevent us from getting bored. Now I wanna stressed on online games. These kind of games are getting more and more popular over the years. Teenagers and children are not the only ones who are hooked with online games, even adults are obsessed with them. From Wikipedia, online game can be defined as a game played over some forms of computer network. There are a lot of types of online games that can be found on the net and this link is one where many online games can be played http://www.kongregate.com/.
Admit that, there is more cons than pros when talking about online gaming. For the gamers, they do admit that when they start to playing, they find that they had a hard time to stop playing although they had played that game all day long. It will cause a lot of problems when students skip school so that they can go to the cyber cafe instead and continue the games that they had left off the day before or to start on a new game. Not only will they waste valuable times, they will also waste a lot of money which might in turn make them resort to stealing money just so they can afford to use computers at the cyber cafe.
Moreover, it's quite hazardous for our health if we use computers for long periods as stated in 'Computer Are Your Future 2006', written by Bill Daley. We can prevent this from happening by knowing the 'Ergonomic', which means that the product matches the best picture and functionality of the human body that includes special keyboards which can prevent carpal tunnel syndrome and chairs that can help improve our posture. Also, computer screen have a high degree of radiation that may cause us to eyesight problem. The efficient way to prevent this is that we should rest our eyes for about 15 minutes when using the computer by looking at the green environment or by using anti-glare screens on computer monitors. As for the Muslims, they maybe too absorbed in the game world that they will eventually become careless in performing their prayers.
