Where are we headed?
This piece of news just blew me off.
South Korean parents starve 3 month old baby to death over raising a virtual child.
Read the complete news here
Call me old school and old! As I completely fail to understand the Farmville / Fishville addiction and the joy one derives from creating a virtual farm. Let alone virtual currencies. I first came to know of Farmville when my 14 year old screamed in excitement during one of his 30 minutes restricted online time – I got a pig! I got a pig! Yes! Yes! Yes! Apparently, someone had gifted him a pig and it is oh so expensive! This kid would give up anything for 15 minutes of Farmville. They even make and break real life friends depending on their interaction in the virtual world aka gifts sent in this case.
Farmville is just a game after all, but the addiction is real. The news above where the couple starve their 3 month old kid over raising a virtual kid is on the extreme. Hope this dies as a one off case.
