Japan Proposing 'Fasting Camps' for Children Addicted to the Internet

Akifumi Sekine, Japan’s ministry of education, wants kids to get “out of the virtual world” and “have real communication with other children and adults.” He’s proposing a fasting camp that will limit internet access while offering social outdoor activities at Japan’s numerous public facilities. Psychiatrists and clinical psychotherapists will be on hand to assist should difficulties arise with the transition from virtual to real-world life.
