In PBS's Frontline show "Digital Nation," I found South Korea's game/internet addiction problem most interesting. It is amazing that they actually diagnose this as a real addiction like an addiction to alcohol. From my own experience and seeing others, I believe it is a real actual addiction that some people may not be able to conquer on their own. This is something that we as teachers will have to cope with in the classroom. Do we try taking the addictive technology away, or do we give in and accept that the human race will be attached to the internet.
