Can children become addicted to spending a lot of their time on the internet, instead of playing sport?
Research shows that children are getting fatter because they spend too much time playing computer games/surfing the net/chatting on MSM etc. What's your opinion?

Well, I am of the opinion that grown-ups of the future will be less healthy than grown-ups of this generation. It has of course a lot to do with their childhood. Nowadays, kids exert less effort and they play less outdoor games. They are so hooked to computer that they are unaware of the time. The expend less energy and end up sore in the thumb and back. At the end of the day, they are black and blue all over. With the advent of wii, this will be changed a bit. But still, there is no other alternative to outdoor games. Aside from sweating it out, they also get to learn about sportsmanship and bonding.

For Chinese children, even though they don't play computer game or surf the net, they have no time to play sports, there are a plenty of homeworks and exercises waiting for them. As far as the fatter problem, one reason is that children are lack of necessary activities, another reason is that the children don't handle the relations among playing computer, playing sports, and doing their homeworks. My son's also addicted to play computer game, he teaches by himself. as his mother, I always control him in limited time, about 30 minutes, on the other hand, I sometimes give him my advices and request to play sports with me...

absolutely right. Parents should limit the number of hours that children spend on these kinds of entertainment. They have to involve thier children in some other productive activities,e.g. joining sport clubs, reading stories. Children should know how to socialize with other people. Someway, techonology has been reducing social skills!

Sure,not only children but adults also!
Look at me:) No,seriously, it can be a big problem when you give your child a computer for 5th birthday instead of something useful. I don't say computers aren't useful but what can a child do with it?! Play games,spend a lot of time on the internet...So,actually, parents are the problem.They should teach their children how to live when they are too young.That is how I think it should be:)
