A cybercafé is a public place where people can access the internet and use computers for various activities, such as browsing, gaming, or studying. These establishments typically charge customers by the hour or offer packages for extended use. They often provide additional services like printing, scanning, and refreshments. Cybercafés became popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s, especially in urban areas where personal computers were less common. They serve as social hubs, allowing people to connect with friends and family online. Many cybercafés also offer gaming stations, attracting gamers who enjoy playing multiplayer games in a communal setting.
