Boot Camp - For computer Addicts
 

Extract:

MOKCHEON, South Korea - the compound, part boot camp, part rehab centre - resembles programs around the world for troubled youths. Drill instructors drive young men through military-style obstacle courses, counsellors lead group sessions and there are even therapeutic workshops on pottery and drumming.

But these young people are not battling alcohol or drugs. Rather, they have severe cases of what many in this country believe is a new and potentially deadly affliction: cyberspace addiction.

LOL Look at their eyes~ for those of u who hasnt slept or ate in the pass 12 hours, if u dont want to look like them then get off the computer NOW!

perfect place to make money as boot camp, korea, where most internet MMORPGs started

LOL~ yeah u're right~

i bet u some of them played Fiesta Korean Version

yep, lol

I probobly have a lesser version fo that since although i dont want to go offline i can controll myself

I'm only on the computer a lot because theres nothing better to do in this house.

keke i guess if u sleep when u're suppose to and eat when u're suppose to.. u're fine..

it looks like those kids doesnt... sleep XD

They'll probably need this in Japan as well soon enough. Those Asian countries are wired... Though in Japan they'll probably need this sort of stuff for cell phone users.

I played an MMO for 73 hours straight, twice. I'm perfectly fine, no boot-camp needed.

do u hv eyes like them Tad? XD

i was told by a friend that's now living in japan.. that its rude for them to talk on cell phones in public (like on trains and stuff)... that's why they're all on their cell phones coz they email each other instead of talking on the phone...

You don't really make sense in your last sentence... Do you mean Laptops? Anyway I don't look like them after 48 hours of gaming non-stop (except to go to the toilet and bathe). I just get a really bad headache afterwards and I knockout for close to 15 hours.

- Joins the camp -
- Stares into space -

Your fifth point is wrong. You don't win I do. Well now that it's the holidays I wish I had something better to do. I'm super bored of using the computer.

My parents say I'm on too long. But, there's not much to do around here, besides sit and watch TV or read books I've read five or so times. Plus, all my friends are online talking to me/each other. Computers are a communication medium not a drug!

And you can play games on them too... Better ones than cells...

all japanese phones hv the function to email... so they dont need to carry a laptop around to send emails keke

i can send an email to my frds phone in japan.. except it'll cost her to receive it...

i somehow dont think those kids at the boot camp are there coz they chat online too much kekeke chatting doesnt really kill ur brain, like how some games do LOL

but yeah.. i wonder if the rooms of the boot camp are padded so they dont go nuts and bash their head against the wall coz they dont hv a computer keke

Yea they better pad their walls. Some might even break through after a few months of banging.

so funny thing happened 2 me, i was supposed 2 b in bed but instead i was playing fiesta, then my mom came in and saw me playin! now i can only play on weekends, it sucks, but i manage 2 get through, and i go on this meesage board in scool during tech class, it keeps me from going insane! ( not that i already am):eek:

I'm on the forums during math, life science, physical science, chinese, geography, history and music class...

i get paid to forum at work.. XD

though i should REALLY REALLY REALLY cut down on it..

I want to get paid to go on forums...
