Local Literature
According to the research conducted by Zhang (2007) and Zhuo (2007) on online game addiction,
the physical symptoms of Internet and online game addiction were were cervical spondylosis,
neurasthenia and insomnia. Cervical spondylosis is a spinal injury caused by having the same
sitting position for hours while playing games. On the other hand, Neurasthenia is a psychological
disorder marked especially by easy fatigability and often by lack of motivation, feelings of
inadequacy, and psychosomatic symptoms. It results from when players engage in hours and hours
of game playing with no virtually sleep intervals in between. This causes sleep sensitivity and
disorders which induce addicted players to wake up several times during the night and as such this
leads them suffering from insomnia which can cause mental anxiety and eventually result in
nervous breakdowns and general tiredness.

In cebu, online game addiction is also becoming an issue. In one of the episodes of I-Witness, Kara
David was able to interview youngsters namely Doc, Mark and Ice who resort to illegal activities
just to fund their addiction to online gaming. Doc, Mark and Ice are part of a young generation
spending a lot of their time on computer games. Some of them undergo illegal activities to fund
their vices and they can go on gaming for 24-hours without any sleep. 22-year-old Doc is a
scavenger and vagrant, but once he gets his money out of collecting garbage, he goes to his favorite
Internet shop to play. Mark, 20, is an out of school youth. He lost his investment money and stole
from his mother to pay for his Internet rentals. Fourteen-year-old Ice says he gets his money from
homosexuals in exchange for sexual favors.
In one of the article of PhilStar which is “Battle on Vs Kids’ online games addiction”, Samuel
Pagdilao (Police Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) director Chief
Superintendent) stressed the need for measures to protect children from being hooked on online
computer games. He said many children spend hours in a computer shop playing online games.

Foreign Literature

Online games have both positive and negative effects on people, especially students.
One of the negatives is this. Many cases among students are addiction. And this addiction
may lead to worse problems. The students might steal money.
They may become lazy when it comes to studying and prefer playing the whole day long.
Some may even skip school in order to have more playing time. Addicted gamers spend so much
time playing that their personal relationships get neglected and sometimes disappear altogether.
Among addicted gamers who are married, up to 50 percent report a strain in their marriage as a
result of their addiction. Addicted gamers also neglect the responsibilities of everyday life such as
school and work.
