Computer Addiction

What actually drives youngsters nowadays to play computer games non-stop for 24 hours?? Personally , i think it is because of three factors : peer pressure , escaping the real world and thrill of the games. Let me elaborate more....
Peer pressure is something everyone suffers under. If there is a computer game that everyone plays , it would eventually draw others to play it just because of the fact that they do not want to be the odd one out.This is one of the worst addictions. As long as a few people play it, alot of people continue to play it to not feel "out " and have a topic to talk about.
Escaping the real world is equally bad. However , it is mostly directed to youngsters who do not feel accepted in the real world. They might be despised by classmates , hated by teachers and have uncaring parents. Therefore , they escape the world by playing computer games.
Thrill of the game is one of the most major factors though.This is because game thrills brings people of any age , any kind to come together and play games.This is particularly for famous games . Especially the world famous games , world of warcraft. Those famous games requires a long time to complete and therefore requires alot of time .
Playing computer games is not all that bad. If one is stressed , he may play such games to relieve stress.However , addiction is not good.
