Virtual Society Addiction

While such an addiction hasn’t been officially documented, it has come to our attention that given the versatility of the online world, the cyber realm is able to virtually emulate any real-life entertainment in digital form.

Purchasing could be done within the comforts of your home with the introduction of E-shopping. The vice of gambling is just a click away with the implementation of e-commerce, facilitating the use of credit cards on gambling websites. Diaries, once tomes of one’s private feelings and life, are now on the Net in the form of blogs, broadcasting to a worldwide audience the daily events they encountered. Social interactions online in the form of online communities such as Friendster.com and forum boards are now the main source of inter-personal contact for many.
