Recent Addiction

I used to think, 'How could someone become addicted to Farmville?' It seemed like it took too much time and effort to tinker around with 'ploughing this' and 'helping neighbours [that]'. But I have recently fallen into the trap that is, Farmville. I can now make (and sell) 'Strawberry Shortcake' and 'Spicy Muffins' in my own bakery. So my current days revolve around planting seeds to grow carrots and strawberries etc to make these items. By keeping my eye on the time it takes to harvest, I make sure I have easy access to a computer at those times thanks to my Zynga tool bar (Zynga being the creators of Farmville).

To put this into context I believe this had lead me to become somewhat of a cyborg. I'll be honest; I don't really understand or like the concept of us being supposed cyborgs. But if it has something to with how dependant we have become on technology in our day to day lives, then I may be just slightly be cyborgish. For me, developments happening with online games; Farmville and Mafia Wars, makes technology/the online world further addictive. This almost obsessive maintainence of my Farm and Mafia profile is a natural part of my day, I rarely miss a day. With the wonders of continued game and technology development, its no surprise I would become addicted at some point.
