If you are a parent of a teen, it's almost certain that you are a parent of a video game player. Almost all (97%) teens play video game, as revealed in a study by Pew Internet Project in 2008.
If the 2009 National Study on video game addiction in America youth is valid, then about 8.5% of America youth is addicted to video game.
I think every parent of young kid(s) should be aware of this issue.
On the other hand, video game addiction is not limited to youth. For one of the most popular MMORPG game "World of Warcraft", statistics have shown that players spend in average 22.7 hours playing the game and the average age of player is 28.3.
We are facing challenges and maybe opportunies given by this prevalent form of entertainment in digital age. How does video game affect the daily life of ours and that of our next generation? Nobody has a comprehensive and definitive answer. Information on this website, mainly collected from around the Internet, hopefully is going to help you to get a better understand of the issue.
