When I was checking my email the other day I saw an ad on the side of my screen about online bingo. I had no idea really that people were playing internet bingo like as much as they were. A few weeks ago I taught my grandma and her friends how to set up their email accounts and talk to each other and play games like bingo online, but I had no idea that so many people were doing it (even people my age).
Apparently though games like poker and free bingo online are seriously in right now. You don’t have to be old to play bingo anymore, you just have to be able to use a computer and honestly, after I learned how to get on and play online bingo, I really couldn’t stop. These games on the internet are seriously addicting and no matter what it is solitaire, video games or even boring old bingo, you want to keep going and going.
I do though think that it is smart to advertise these online games on the side of things like email or banking, because I check my email so many times a day and I see these ads over and over again and even though I didn’t click on one until today, I eventually did and now they have me hooked. I have online bingo and other card games on my bookmarked tool bar because I play them in between homework assignments or even in class when it gets boring (ha I know it seems like I joke that I play bingo when I am bored) but it seriously is fun.
I guess I do though think it is kind of sad that I clicked on a random online ad it makes me feel like one of those people who sees a commercial for fast food and then orders right then and there or goes out to get it right away. I’m not usually like that, but when I am constantly bombarded with these ads, it is hard not to give in once and a while and I am certainly glad that it was for the bingo ad and the online games, because seriously, in all honestly playing them has made my day much more fun instead of super boring while I am sitting through class all day listening to boring lectures.
