What are my reactions after reading this article?
I find that this kind of addiction had been very common to people nowadays.
Regardless of their age, most of them are also addicted to computer games.
But not too addicted to an extent that they tend to call themselves by their avatar name.
If a close friend of mine confesses to me that he/she is addicted to online games, I would advice him/her to stop talking about the online games. :D
