In the article "Chinese Gamer Has Spent The Past 6 Years In An Internet Cafe," the title pretty much speaks for itself. Internet addict Li Meng, has spent his last six years in an Internet cafe in China's Northeast city of Changchun. Meng has become so addicted to the Internet that he almost never leaves the computer screen. The only things that pull him away from this cafe is for food and the occasional shower. As the reporter in the story asked Meng questions about his addiction, he acted as though there were invisible. He refused to communicate with anyone other than the virtual world. The cafe owner has become used to the gammers presence and stated that at times, his presence is barely noticeable. Onlookers are concerned for Meng and say that he participates in online gaming all throughout the day, then sleeps at the cafe when he becomes tired. I found this story to be very interesting and it shows how the Internet can be a very bad thing, due to addictive gaming. The amount of time Li Meng has spent online has taken away all other aspects of his life, and has made online gaming his whole life. Addictive gaming is one of the many bad sides of the Internet.
