Entangling Roots

"Entangling Roots" was a pretty interesting little article. I liked this essay because it was about a hastily growing issue that hasn't gotten a lot of attention in the past. I thought it was good because it was very clearly written and the examples were pretty startling. I thought this a really informative essay. I had a brief knowledge on the subject. I have a lot of friends who have fallen to the addiction of online gaming, none as bad as the examples in the reading. It's almost ridiculous that this type of thing could become what it has; elevated to the point of being an epidemic in ours and other countries around the globe. The world's first virtual sickness or disease. The amount of money these people make a month is almost sickening. I thought it was definitely smart to bring up the topic of "money is the root of all evil". It obviously plays a major role in any addictive substance. Anywhere from crack to video games, everyone's just trying to make a quick buck.
