SUMMARY
- new lease of life
- opportunity to start over
- escapes from your real life
- how addicted you become depends on
In conclusion some things that can happen
in a virtual reality are both positives and
negatives but personally I believe that the
amount of negatives win out the positives.
Given that virtual realities are being said to
take over everyones lives in the future its
easy to see that being involved in a virtual
world can cause a complete and utter
distraction from your real life
The dangers that you can find on a virtual
world are endless. Lives can be completely
ruined from a number of personal stories
being told by various people about how
social network sites and other virtual worlds
take over their life and how they lost
everything. Its easy to say you can lose
everything in a virtual world when for
example you get so addicted to a particular
game you use most of your money to get to
higher levels or buy new games which is
how you can lose money easily. Also
hacking is always a big problem even
making a website to promote a business can
be hacked.
- for students it encourages them to
think about schooling less
- its hard to get away from due to using
so much technology in our century
googling and researching for
homework or assignments can cause
temptation
People get addicted to Virtual realities
Social networking is addictive especially to
easily because a lot of people in our world people struggling to find a partner and
become emotionally unstable or have a
teenagers. The reason for this is because its
disaster in their lives which many people go whats new and teenagers want to try fit in
through and everyone wants to get away
with everything and once they get a taste of
from their troubles without facing them so it they cant stop it. This impacts on their
therefore they believe there only option is to schooling and their families and friends.
make there own world and the answer to
With children wanting to keep up with
that is Virtual World. The reason people do everything new it results in cyber bullying,
this is because it offers you to create
harassment, misrepresentation and more.
fantasies you wish were real.
These are reasons of why social network is
attaching and the negative outcomes of it.
