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.
