Severe case of Internet Addiction...

In South Korea, internet addictions were mostly said to appear in teenagers until a married couple took the addiction to the extreme. The South Korean couple met online and even created virtual worlds to interact in. Though, I would think that reality is much better than a virtual world, this couple would spend hours at an Internet Cafe interacting virtually with each other and others. An Internet Cafe is a place where there are a bank of computers for public use. Though this couple had a new born child at home, one night they departed to an Internet Cafe to role-play in a virtual reality for twelve hours and came home to a deceased new born baby.
Though the number of teenager internet addicts have declined dramatically, the opposite has affected the 20-30 age bracket. South Korea is huge on gaming and actually promotes gaming to many countries to use.
