I just did a google search on video game addiction, some scary information out there! Here's a quote from one of the pages I looked at


The 2007 study by the American Medical Association reviewing video game addiction concluded that “more research and studies are needed to provide conclusive evidence that video game addiction is a disorder.” Increased pressure is being placed upon the American Psychiatric Association (APA) to include “Internet/video game addiction” in the next edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the standard diagnostic text used by psychiatrists worldwide.
Research by Stanford University School of Medicine in 2008 shows video games do have addictive characteristics, and a Harris Interactive Poll released in April 2007 showed that 8.5% of youth gamers in the United States could be “classified as pathologically or clinically addicted to playing video games.”

yeah Dave it is some staggering stuff. the wife n I were drivin to our dinner the other night and she was reading me studies conducted for ages 2-7 with information that kids that young are being monitored not by parents but the majority is the television, followed by video/computer based games and even smart phones. Korea has the highest number of video game addicts for young kids and even have facilities set up for rehab programs!
*Sigh....these will be the kids that will be responsible for taking over when im gone, and to think my parents generation thought my generation had issues LOL
