Games for the smartphone continue to be an addiction craved by many worldwide. “Flappy Birds” and “Candy Crush” are well-known games that have come across on various social media websites. These games are created to reinforce addiction. Meaning, the more successful you are at winning, the more you continue to play. In this article, Dennis Junge, a psychology professor at John A. Logan, believes there’s a social and challenging aspect in game addictions. There are those who automatically want to play a game they see their friends playing, or they will continue to play a game as long as they have the lower score. Game apps will continue to be in demand to fulfill the craving until a new fad comes along.
