    South Korea: The Most Wired Place on Earth

    The downside though is internet addiction. Thought you would enjoy this short documentary on today's South Korean youth.

    Think internet addiction among the youth this is already happening in the US, or your country?

    FRONTLINE/World correspondent Douglas Rushkoff travels to South Korea to take the measure of a country considered one of the most wired places on Earth. What he finds are families and a government grappling with the downside of its digital revolution: Internet addiction.

    It was fun while it lasted...

      ^ you responded 3 seconds after I posted the thread. Did you read the synopsis, or have you already seen the video? I appreciate the insulting photo too, thanks for that, glad to see you're policing the message board yet again.

        You can't have manslaughter without laughter.

        "Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl."

                  Music is essential for the expression of non material ideals and energies. Music colors our surroundings with emanations from the highest vibrational fields. It allows us to escape all limitations in our thinking and very existence.
