	<htmltext>Most students that I teach in China (18-22) can't afford the computer required, so they play WOW and CS at their Internet bar. These places are usually dark, dingy and full of second-hand cigarette smoke. They make some of my teenage hacker basements look positively healthy.

So I think it's not that the parents are really worried about the length of time spent playing, it's the conditions they are played under.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>I am a bit ambivalent about this approach. On one hand, the Chinese government is trying to shape today's youth into something which will contribute to society. On the other, there could be unnecessary victims and they could end up screwed up and this approach might work in Creating a counter productive individual for society.
I hope the good outweighs the bad but that will not be found out so soon.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>You're right. What boggles my mind is that the more people I talk to (at least in my age group, late 20's) the more and more assholes I find. It's really incredible to me that in a world where human contact is becoming more and more scarce seem to be closing ourselves off to the prospect of having decent communications with others.

People 10 years older than I am seem to have less of an issue, those who didn't grow up plugged into the Net. Many of them seem to have healthy social networks, go out and do things, and generally enjoy themselves.   I can't say it's causation, but it might point us in the right direction.</htmltext>

<tokenext>This is , btw , also why DARE is pretty much a waste of time and taxpayer money .
But that 's not the topic now.What is " addiction " ?
Basically that the body ( or mind ) wants some stimulus that you handed him for a long time .
Why does it want it ?
Because the stimulus was/is positive and not getting it is subjectively negative.Which leads to the crucial question : Why did you start taking/using it in the first place ?
It 's not like someone goes " Hey , it 's Tuesday , it 's colder than outside , let 's start pumping heroin up our veins !

	<htmltext>I really don't think this is going to work, I've been through boot camp (USMC), and once I went back to civilian life (I had a shoulder injury that prevented me from finishing the last week of training and then going on to serve.) I was pretty much the same person. The only difference is when I came out I had military training, I feel more calm in stressful situations than I did before, and I'm more confident in my fighting and survival abilities. I still play video games and browse the internet as much as I did before I joined the Marines.

So if you go into boot camp as an internet addicted teenager you're going to come out as an internet addicted teenager, with military training. Unless they're sending them into the army right after they're not going to keep in that mindset, they're going to go back to the internet and their video games. Perhaps sending them to a summer camp where they have many activities to choose from would be a better idea. Hikes through the woods, swimming, sports, and being encourage to speak to other people and socialize would be good for these people. The boot camp seems like it would be too much like work for these kids and they would just resent it rather than enjoy it.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>10 years? How about now!!! Give me two minutes, my phone, and a 3G signal and I can find out anything I need. Cell phones are literally becoming mini-computers focused on on-line services. Twitter clients for BBerry's, iPhones, and WM6 are a good example of it. It went from "who calls anyone anymore, everybody txts these days" to "who calls or txts? Don't you have IM or email on your phone?". I use my computer about 50\% less now since I got my HTC Fuze with unlimited TXT and Data plan; with the lowest amount of minutes I might add. I always have Myspace, Facebook, Tiny Twitter, skype, Google Latitude, and IM running. If I could figure out how to merge my 1TB drive and my music I wouldn't need my laptop. Now I maintain a constant online presence and can still get crunk in the clubs.

Honestly, I think it's just the games screwing them up. Take a needle and scratch the disk they use to install it then delete one of the games DLL's. They'll never know you did it. They'll think the computer is acting up.</htmltext>
