More addictions

This site is an actual ad for an acutal video game detox program, or programs depending on what information you want from them. They talk about the addiction, what games are most addicting, and why your kid should be in their sessions. They also have other types of delinquents going to their sessions which brings up my question, why put people who have video game problems and heroin problems in the same place? That seems kind of inefficient to me.

The most addicting games they say are MMORPG's, Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games. This includes the Final Fantasy Online games, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, and any other game that you can play online with other human players. http://www.aspeneducationgroup.com/gameaddiction/wow.asp That is their reasoning why World of Warcraft is the most addicting game. I think it's interesting they keep mentioning that all the effects are on teens when, in reality, there are more adults that play that game and others like it. Is there a detox center for them? Not really. The detox centers for adults are for more deadly things like drugs, alcohol, depression, eating disorders, etc. The video game detox centers are based around teens who play, not adults. Very interesting...
