I’m presently reading a book about several young adults in China. One narrowly escaped being sent to camp for World of Warcraft addiction. He persuaded his parents that it was a waste of money ... so they took him back to the farm, where there wasn’t electricity, let alone Internet.

Wow! In China scar tissue can form in 2 days. Must be something in the water.

Of course the OTHER OPTION for parents is to simply not buy their kids smart phones, but I guess that’s too much to ask.

Anyone know what their method is? Is it negative reinforcement, like in Clockwork Orange? Or just gratuitous random sadism?
