Give it up to China for being the only country I have heard of that actually does something to force people (like me) to go outside. At first I thought that China will have soldiers go to internet Cafe's to force people out, but this way seems mildly better. Besides, they are forced to go through the toughest terrain slogging 12 hours or more, and thats just the gamers.
What this adresses is a problem that even I have experienced: Internet Addiction. We need it for everything right now, and we don't have a high enough technology that we can physically live off it yet.
My thoughts on the issue are two things:
One: They are picking on WOW too much
Two: They are not picking on other users.
Thats not such a bad thing, especially for me. I don't just use the computer for games, or porn (although I do it too much). I also use the internet for:
studying online
electronically assigned projects
Keeping in touch with my friends
Finding out important events and dates (love Face Book)
and Discussing Issues LIKE THIS.
I have to give credit to: this very addicting site for preventing me from doing my homework and bringing up this topic to me. Lets see here, did I spend 10hrs on the net today?
