Are Video Games Addictive?

Terranova Interview

In the interview found on Terra Nova, Aaron Walsh talks about aspects of virtual reality education. One of the aspects is the fact that there is a growing addiction surrounding virtual reality. Walsh has coined this phenomenon "immersive illness". Throughout the article, Second Life is talked about as being a future platform of immersive learning. While past problems regarding the hardware of such immersive forums have caused boundaries, these bumps in the road are quickly being ironed out.
