People like this are usually in their teens or twenties - the age premier of the Internet addiction – spending their golden years in a trance. He has withdrawn himself from society, settling into his little world consisting of a computer, modem, and the vast, sprawling network named "the Internet" which is everywhere, but nowhere.

Crime 2
... to much, but golfers are not. Now take into consideration how much professional baseball players make a season. “The average earned income in major league baseball is over $800,000 a season”(Fizel, 83), and some of these players just ride the pine all year.
