Here is a video that gives you a look into the life of a game addict.

Labeling

Dr. Dave Greenfield is one expert I came across while researching gaming. He maintains a website, Virtual-Addiction, which looks specifically at Internet Addiction. I found an interview he did with Today where I think he hit it right on the head.

“The bottom line is it doesn’t really matter what it’s labeled, because the reality is that people have problems and many times these problems aren’t labeled or classified, but we in our offices see these problems every day.”

I’ve said this before and I’m just going to say it again: It is irrelevant whether we call it digital dependence, video game addiction, or bug-eye syndrome. Many people have problems with digital games that need to be addressed. Period.

On another note: Thomas just finished speaking at the CHEACT book fair where he addressed home schoolers on the dangers created by digital gaming. You can view last year’s workshop by clicking the “video” tab above.
