The new addicition: Video Games?

TV at one time was thought to be such an addiction to kids that parents had to wean them away from it just to get them to do their homework and eat. Also the violence on television was blamed on the upsweep of juvinile crimes. Well, no more, here are the XBoxes, Game boys and cubes, Playstations, etc. taking them away with even more graphic violence and sexual implications. Do you have a problem with this at your house??? My own husband cant stay away from his Playstation once he gets home from work until he goes to bed. My daughter now wishes my grandchildren would watch more TV!

    Video and computer games are highly addictive. People from all generations and age brackets are finding this out: my teenage son is a computer gamer and spends hours at it. I almost don't recognize him if he's not wearing a headset. I introduced my mother, who is in her 70's, to internet Scrabble, and she loves it. She would likely be playing it all the time if she wasn't so afraid of computers.

    Anyway, all this electronic gaming is a real problem. One thing about it, though, is that the addiction can be broken quickly. One day of a broken machine is all it takes.
