  38. Video Game Addiction No Fun Compulsive video gaming is a modern-day psychological disorder that experts tell WebMD is becoming more and more popular. By Sherry Rauh- WebMD Feature At an addiction treatment center in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, teenagers and young adults begin detox by admitting they are powerless over their addiction to video games. Keith Bakker, director of Smith & Jones Addiction Consultants, "The more we looked at it, the more we saw [gaming] was taking over the lives of kids."

  39. Symptoms of Video Game Addiction in Teens • PreoccupationSomeone who is addicted to computer, video, or Internet gaming often exhibits an unusual preoccupation with the game or computer when he is away from it. The teen could seem distracted, irritable, or disinterested and may talk about the game almost constantly.

  40. Homework may go unfinished, causing grades to slip. In more extreme cases, the teen may even neglect personal hygiene, choosing to play video games rather than taking a shower. Because the person spends so much time on the computer or video game console, other areas of life are neglected. He may grow distant from friends and family who had previously been close.

  41. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL MANAGERS AND THE DIGITAL MIND STUDENT BECOMES DATA Are students now merely seen as data by school and government officials, and researchers?

  42. STUDENTS AS DATA AND SCHOOLS AS DATA MANAGERS

  43. DATA OVERLOAD AND MULTITASKING The Army found that soldiers operating tanks when receiving data and videos on their tank’s computer screens are often unable to concentrate and actually miss targets that are near them. Consequently, the military is developing training programs that will change the brains of soldiers so that they can concentrate in a world of multitasking and data overload.

  44. DATA OVERLOAD AND MULTITASKING “The whole question we’re asking is whether we can rewire the functioning of the attention system through mindfulness,” said one of the researchers, Elizabeth A. Stanley, an assistant professor of security studies at Georgetown University. Nicholas Carr, The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains

  45. THE BRAIN AND CONCENTRATION Subjects wear a cap with electrodes that measure brain waves as they are exposed to increasing levels of data. As the amount of data increases, the subject’s brains shows sharp spikes in theta waves indicating an inability to concentrate. This sharp spike in theta waves explained researcher Raja Parasuraman, “It’s usually an index of extreme overload.”

  46. FUTURE AND PROBLEMS OF ONLINE INSTRUCTION • ICT COMPANIES SUPPORTING ONLINE INSTRUCTION FOR PROFIT • NATIONAL EDUCATION POLICYMAKERS SUPPORTING ONLINE INSTRUCTION BECAUSE IT IS CHEAPER THAN TRADITIONAL EDUCATION • SOME STUDENTS FAVOR ONLINE BECAUSE IT FREES THEM FROM A CLASSROOM SCHEDULE • PROBLEMS: ADDICTION AND EFFECT ON BRAIN CONCENTRATION
