Long Response:
1. This article was about classifying video gaming as an addiction. Many people play video games for hours on end, and it's hard for them to quit or stop. These behaviors are similar to those of drug addicts and alcoholics.
2. The indications of the disorder are impaired control over gaming, which means that a sufferer loses control over how long they play, or when to quit. As well as giving an increased attention to the gaming behaviors that it affects daily life. Lastly, continuing playing the games despite a pattern of negative consequences.
3. An addiction as defined by the article, is not defined by the substance. Instead, it's defined by the compulsion to do something, whatever that may be. In this case, video gaming. As the addiction progresses, these compulsions become harder and harder to resist, leading to behavior that takes over someone's life, revolving around the compulsion to play.
4. I don't think video games are a serious problem, but as new games come out, and more kids are being raised on addictive behaviors, I think it will become a problem in the future. Video game companies won't stop making games, and often times they try to make their games addictive so that more people will buy their product and continue to play.
5. Yes, I play video games. I like to play Minecraft, often with my brother and other people online. There are console versions of it, but I play on a PC. I think I used to be addicted to Minecraft, but now the game bores me sometimes, so I don't play as often as I used to.
6. Yes, I think I do have friends who might be addicted to video games. My brother plays on his PlayStation everyday, for several hours. He gets home at 4:00 on school days, and when I come home at 5:00, he won't even greet me, he'll be glued to the TV. He'll become irritable and yell at me when I even say hello to him, because it'll distract him. Then he'll play for hours until my mom forces him to get off.
7. Some solutions, according to the article, are to not start this behavior when you're young. This lets kids grow up thinking addictions are okay and common. Also, to use screen time as a privilege, instead of a right. This means that after kids have finished their chores and work, then video game time could be earned. Lastly, limit screen time to one or two hours, and usually at the end of the day, as something to work for, like dessert.
