anonymo June 23, 2005 Share anonymo Member June 23, 2005 Boy dies of stroke after playing computer games for 12 hours non stop06/20/2005 16:33 Computer games launched the development of the brain pathology, which the boy was suffering from, having thus provoked stroke A teenager died in the Russian city of Ekaterinburg after 12 hours of playing computer games. The boy died from stroke after he had spent a half of his day playing games in a computer club. Doctors were taking lifesaving efforts for several days, but could not save the boy. The autopsy showed that the brain of a young gamer was totally destroyed. According to the information from the press service of the city's healthcare administration, the tragedy occurred last week. The boy stayed in the game club longer than safety regulations allowed. When the boy returned home, he showed quite inadequate behavior, which made his mother call an ambulance. The boy was hospitalized, stayed in the reanimation department for seven weeks and died. Doctors concluded that computer games launched the development of the brain pathology, which the boy was suffering from, having thus provoked stroke. Doctors of the city hospital say that they start receiving information about computer game addiction developing among teenagers on a regular basis. According to sociological research, up to 80 percent of schoolchildren of 12-13 years of age suffer from addiction to computers in Russia. Children may spend whole days sitting in front of computers without food, water and rest. Children's addiction to computer games in Western states gradually takes the scale of alcohol and drug addiction. Such children are excessively short-tempered, irascible and emotionally unstable. They always experience a dire need of playing computer games, although they realize practical uselessness of such pastime. As a result, computer addicts suffer from inner contradictions between the real and the virtual egos. Doctors say that serious addiction to computer games negatively affects both physical and intellectual development of children, causing depressions and psychological disorders. Bad news gentlemen! We may have to start banning young children! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Glitch June 24, 2005 Share Guest Glitch Guests June 24, 2005 He must have had problems to only last 12 hours. I could have done that easy. Those russian kids must be stupid to not drink or eat or sleep while playing. That is one of the benefits of having a fridge 10 feet from your computer. Anyone want a soda?
