This extremely sad tale from China demonstrates only too well how dangerous extremes are - in either direction. While China already is the source of many of the horrible stories supporting the idea of internet-addiction in North America and Europe (such as the person who died after 20 hours of non-stop gaming), it is now becoming the source of the horror stories about what happens when a nation blames one object only for the cultural changes that are challenging the established order.
Deng Senshan was another victim to fear, lack of knowledge and massive propaganda.

There are obviously harmful effects from excessive and compulsive usage, of the internet or anything, but when the 'treatment' becomes so [choose your own negative adjective] it tends to push people into thinking there's no disorder at all. Neither extreme is any good for anyone, except those who get rich off exploiting fears.
