Farmville is not Farming

Facebook has a game called Farmville that has become very popular.  When my wife first started playing the game, I almost thought I was going to have to get her some treatment for her addiction.  I would constantly get messages from Facebook asking me to do something for her Farmville game.  The first couple of times, I did what it asked and after that, I decided was too much work and stopped doing it.

I have found that this game seems to appeal to women more than men.  I am not sure why that is true since I like all things about farming, but I think the main reason for me, is that it is not real farming.  The process of planting, growing and harvesting a real crop has much more appeal to me than a game.

This post is simply a reflection of my opinion.  I am sure there are others who disagree with me, but I know that millions play the game.
