Girl starved to death while parents raised virtual child in online game
Society has gotten so attached to the internet to the point where it has become a part of life. People are now more dependent on the internet, television, and online games than ever before. I think what happened to the infant is an extreme case when it comes to internet addiction, but it is sad and wrong. A couple in South Korea left their infant alone to take care of a virtual family. The infant eventually died due to starvation and neglect. I don't think internet addiction was the only problem though, I think the couple is a little messed up and has something wrong with them mentally. There has to be something wrong with them. I can't believe the couple left their own baby for a fake baby. Online games can become addicting like in the case of the couple. Online games give the creator a chance to create anything they want, basically their hopes, dreams, and desires. They find themselves have better lives online than in reality that they get caught up in the fantasy world. In reality though, people are addicted to the media.
