Reasons and causes of computer or video games addiction

Computers, video games, and the Internet have become well-established features of our daily lives. Computer use has reached beyond work and is now a major source of fun and entertainment for many people. People can get addicted to computer or video games very easily because they are fun to play and can be very challenging. People play them every day and wait for new releases of these games to come out each week so they can go out and get the most popular games. People get addicted to computer or video games because they like the challenge of beating these games, and accepting a challenge to beat other players in the same game. It is like a competition to show who is the best at that game. It gives them a sense of success and freedom. It gives people something that they can brag about and can make them feel good about themselves. For most people, computer use and video game play is integrated into their lives in a balanced healthy manner. For others, time spent on the computer or video game is out of balance, and has displaced work, school, friends, and even family.
