Whatever it is, the so-called addiction will surely lead everyone to stupid things, such as cheating and the most reckless thing is robbing

Unfortunately, the most reckless thing in this case is not robbing but committing suicide. Addiction has led many people to their grave by committing suicide. Alcohol addict may end up drinking to stupor, lose his mind and do anything stupid like driving recklessly that might lead to their death. Although, in the case of gambling addict, stealing is the most thing associated with them. I have witnessed where someone attempt to steal a bike, he was caught and burnt alive. At the end of the investigation, we heard that the victim was a gamble addict and we all assume that is the reason he tried to steal just to continue with his gambling addiction. That was not a direct suicide but more or less of suicide. Addiction is very bad in every aspect because the consequences is mostly negative and harmful.

The future generations parents have a lot to do to control their children from becoming addict. The advancement of technology seem to make it difficult for them already. I watched one video yesterday where a child less than one year old is already addicted to phone and he starts crying when her mother refused to give him the phone. He operate the phone randomly, play a video and start watching with utmost concentration. I don't know if the video was scripted, edited or whatever but that's the reality coming ahead of us.

Well, as the saying goes, "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king." As much as your stories are bone-chilling, they provide a good reason for us to gloat over our wise life choices.

You're talking about addiction as a result of personal failures, but let me introduce you to another perspective. Take a moment to appreciate how adept the human brain is at acquiring skills (like the kid operating a phone), albeit not always beneficial ones.

Still, tech addiction, really? Are we just gonna ignore all the marvels that technology has provided us? Without technology, we wouldnt be having this enlightened chat here, would we? Its all about how we use it, mate. Lets not throw out the baby with the bathwater.
