Gamer Madness

Shades of Reefer Madness - Korean Kids love videogames! They're skipping school, developing weird relationships, hanging out in groups doing bizarre things with machines we don't understand! NYTimes: South Korea's Real Rage for Virtual Games.

Maybe there are real problems with overuse in Korea, but I'm inclined to see it as an experiment. They're living in a part of the future. It's not always pretty but is it much worse than kids dedicated to any other hobby?
