Gaming Addiction

Video game addictions are a growing problem especially here in Asia. The IHT did an indepth story about the issue in Korea here: http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/06/11/business/addside12.php.

Although I've heard this sort of addiction is an issue in Taiwan as well, Taiwan's only mention in the story is an ironic one. Apparently one of the interviewees decided to move from Korea to Taizhong when she wanted to quit her gaming addiction because the internet service there is crappy. I'm sure that while Taizhong's crappy internet service may be a boon to gaming addicts who want to quit, it isn't the sort of press they want to be getting.
