Online games
Internet is not only about information, education, business or shopping. For millions of people around the world internet means entertainment in the first place. This can be explained by the fact that a huge part of all people using the global network are young people, children, teenagers, and young adults. They don't have any family obligations yet, they don't have any work to go to or a child to take care about and in general don't have all those numerous problems that adult people have, and this gives them a lot more free time. In the process of global computerization people spend less and less time playing games outside, doing sports or any other sort of activity that's useful or at least not harmful for a person's health. Instead, they spend more and more time in front of their computer monitors playing computer games. And internet provides a great facility for this – online games that are played by people from all over the world have become amazingly popular, and not only among schoolchildren or students, but also among adult people who often lose their jobs because of spending too much work time playing them. The popularity of online games is so high probably not only thanks to the fairytale-like atmosphere created in them by the developers, but also because of their multiplayer character – people know that they interact with real people, not just artificial intellects, and thus the game becomes more interesting. Every year they become more and more popular, bringing their creators millions of profits.
