The World is Ready for More

As future innovators and hackers of the world, we have a moral expectation to be honest and charitable in our dealings with our fellow men. Although we have the skills to destroy business reputations, internet applications, financial stability, and much more, it does not mean that we should. The skills we gain are for making a difference for the greater good. Instead of taking advantage of what damage we can cause, we should spend time innovating, perfecting, and experimenting in cutting edge technology that would make the world a better place. The impact that we can inflict now is incomparable to what has been done in the past. We are in a time and place where the potential for innovation is prime.

Don't Blame Computer Science

Although computers are our education and future careers, what we do for leisure is our choice. Online gaming, chatting, and viewing entertainment are not expected results of constant work on computers. Gaming addictions are formed by small, but significant choices of exploring the virtual world.  These choices are made independently of what our studies are and acted upon by one's own free will. The lifestyle of a person has more of an affect when it comes to online gaming. If a person grew up with video games, he or she will most likely enjoy online gaming. It does not mean that they will most likely pursue a computer science major. Likewise, a person pursuing a computer science major does not mean that they enjoy video games. It is important to remember that having a computer science major does not increase risk of online gaming addiction.
