If you think that Internet addiction can be taken lightly, take a few minutes to watch this video. It shows how parents have to go to great pain to stop their children from being an Internet addict. In China, the issue is so serious that they have Internet Rehabilitation Center that will stop these people from being addicted to the Internet.
This short video documentary by New York Times shows something that I have heard but never seen before. It shows how these rehab centers work when dealing with Internet addicts. It is like a military camp with strict rules to follow.
Actually, in my opinion, these parents love their children so much that they are the ones that suffered. If not, they will not resort to force their children into the rehab camp. As you can see in the film, most of the children are reluctant to go in. A parent mentioned that she even had to drug her son to bring him into the camp.
In one of the scene, it was mentioned that some gamers would wear adult diapers to avoid visiting the toilet to as not to jeopardize their games. This is how addicted they are to their games or Internet. What are your thoughts?
