- Entertainments. Now in the first place are online games, not active rest with friends, forums, blogs and social networks, and not real meetings with friends.

- Acquaintances. People who begin to "go with his head" in the Internet space are beginning to tie communication and sometimes even relationships in the virtual world. This problem occurs in married couples, where one of the partners becomes dependent on Dating sites and a virtual partner, which can lead to the collapse of the family. It all starts with the banal phrase "Hello. What's up?"but it can grow into a serious virtual relationship, with the exchange of photos, sometimes intimate, video.
