You downloaded a game to your phone a few
months ago. Your friends all played with you at
first, but eventually they got bored and deleted the
app. You play all day. The app is free to download,
but at this point you have spent hundreds of
dollars for upgrades and bonus items. That was all
of your savings and birthday money, plus you told
your parents you needed money for a nonexistent
school trip. You cannot fall asleep at night without
playing for a few hours and you now have trouble
paying attention in class because you are thinking
about the game.
