Dear MEL Topic Readers,
South Korea
tackles youth mobile-phone addiction
How much is
too much? That is the question having been asked to the parent whose children are
obsessed by TV, video games, the Internet and smartphone. Today, the most
addictive device is no doubt the smartphone which can be held nearly all day. Once
children are addicted, it’s hard to de-addict them from the obsessed gadget.
There aren’t so many options their parents can take but to watch them in a hope
that they will get bored someday.
In South
Korea, where most of the population are highly skilled net users, the
government is setting up a treatment center to de-addict those who can’t get
away from their smartphones. There, children spend a few weeks without smartphones
or PCs. Instead, they do what children used to do; read books, play games and
talk with others.
Enjoy reading
and seeing the video and think if you should be in the center for some time.
