I don't want this to be the story of my generation. I know so many people who are exactly like this, it terrifies me. Video games are a frighteningly-effective escape from reality. Incidentally, none of the comments already posted have anything to do with the part of the article that I found most fascinating. The special/not special, Western v. Tiger Mother stuff is trite and overdone -- the descent of childhood into destruction thanks to video games is fresh and scary ground.
