Want To Adopt a Free Virtual Baby?

Created: 2008-09-27 00:35:28
The new Internet craze is virtual human baby games - people go to websites, offering differently presented services of adopting, taking care and growing up a virtual human just like an online pet.
While this thing is a simulation only, it still might be interesting and useful. Similarly to school tasks, when pupils have to take care of an egg, while it hatches, or carry a flower pack everywhere they go, this activity can show to youth, and even some grown-ups, that having a children is a serious thing and teach them some responsibility. The virtual baby, like the real one, has to be fed, changed, put to bed, amused and loved.
However, we are speaking of simulation - it will never be the same as in the real life. Moreover, some people even see this game immoral, because it's not about virtual pet, or just some race simulation - it's about human! And how can responsibility be strengthened, if you can leave the virtual baby, when you get bored, and there's nothing bad about that. You can end the game whenever you want, and that's it - same as turning off the lights. While in the real life you cannot end it that simple... Finally, such games are just another source of profits for Internet companies, as people, who adopted virtual babies, spend definitely more time online, as they have to take care of the baby almost incessantly.
