About six months ago, I got a cheap computer program that had a bunch of various games included in it. All the games were the simplistic games of a similar type to what comes with Windows automatically (you know, the Minesweeper and Solitare, etc.). One of these games actually takes any picture and puts it into a puzzle.
I’ve discovered that doing puzzles can be somewhat addictive. This isn’t a huge surprise to me: I know my mom loves doing puzzles, as does my sister. But what makes it interesting is that I don’t really like doing actual puzzles. You know, the kind that come in a box that you spread out and look through all the pieces on the kitchen table. Nope, don’t like those.
But I do like the computerized version. I don’t know why. I don’t use any of the cheats on the program so it’s not like it’s easier on the computer program (in fact, having to use your mouse to flip pieces is quite a bit more difficult than simply picking up a piece and turning it over yourself). But for some reason (I think it has to do with Global Warming), I like computer puzzles even though I don’t like regular puzzles.
I guess this makes up for the fact that I love reading real books instead of e-Books. Hmm, maybe it all balances out in the end after all.
