Some say, being online is better than being offline. “A medicine,” someone could say. As you continue to consume it, it becomes an addiction.

Your head hurts, eyes are a bloodshot red. Yet, you keep going staring at the hundreds and thousands of pixels in front of you.

Hours and hours of your time are used. Not wanting to look away from the colourful screen in front of you. An endless entertainment, but drowns all your emotions away.

All the money that people use, are now gone because of the games that they play. Even the precious time of being with your loved ones are wasted.

With a simple ” click! ” you turned off the monitor and found your happiness with your family. You pay for mobile games and other online networks, but family stays without a cost.
