game addictionz

I think it is possible to be addicted to gaming because I just finished watching a video. The video was about a bunch of kids in korea that is very addicted to gaming. In south korea,they have computer centers that is open 24/7 for people to play games,and there has been several reports that children have died because they stayed on the computer to long without a lot of food to live.

Treatment in south korea for gaming addictions take people and put them in a school,sort of like a rehabilitation center that the goverment opened.The kids stay there for about 10 days. That is not really enough to take the games off of peoples minds.

Some differences I noticed between american culture and south korean culture is that they have more computers like on every block just like how we have candy stores everywhere. Also the different language.
