I often ask myself is all the Hype in the media really necessary when we speak about to much Internet use. There are treatment centers whose main goal is treating the internet addiict and also their are subcategories within this “addiction”- like eBay Addiction, Compulsive Surfing and Obssesive Role Playing Games to name just a few.
In recent years we have seen Teens Commit Suicide and Famalies split, because of the Internet. I think the problems and issues that come long with Internet use and technology will increase and labels like, “wow addict” ( World of Warcraft) will be house hold words like any chemical addiction.
In China their are restrictions being put upon internet use because of the rise in addictions and loss of work hours in connection with Massive Multiplayer Role Playing Games. Should the US also make these chnages and would it help an addict or just like any other addicting substance we would see new and better crimes to go around the restrictions? This Video I post is one Example of mmorpg addictions. You Judge for yourself is this making us sick?
