Welcome to the internet addicts camp
The internet, as you know, is a great place to turn to for all kinds of information and entertainment. Some of us live on it for 8 or more hours a day, others spend way too much time on it and never leave their virtual space. Congratulations, you are officially addicted, please join the internet addict's camp.The Chinese government has realized the addiction and has a solution, Internet Addicts Camp. With 2.6 million Chinese kids under the age of 18 considered addicts this new kind of summer camp is aimed at 14-22 year olds and actually teaches them to go outside, ride bikes, and enjoy life off of the internet while covering depression issues, non interaction, and panic attacks.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

What a great idea. Where do I sign my two kids up. Maybe we should start it at 10, so both my kids can attend. Video games and TV replace the quality time that children once had with their children. It is so sad that most parents would rather sit in front of a TV, rather than spend some quality time with their kids. The parents watch YV in the den while the kids play video games or watch TV in their room. No wonder kids can't cut it in school any more. Well, this and the poor quality of public schools.

Teaching young adults how to fully experience day-to-day activity without electronic interference might be a good idea indeed...especially in a day where the Internet has become all but a necessity.
If it takes an Internet-addiction "camp" for one to understand that reality is more concrete than virtual life, so be it.
