The Internet can Kill YOU

So as I sit in front of my computer at 6:10am on a Monday morning I read about a man who died playing Internet games for three straight days. What, did he forget to order a beverage or a snack? Jeez! He was in a public Internet cafe...don't they serve food or, better yet, realize that that guy over here hasn't left in the last 72 hours.

I wouldn't consider myself any sort of Internet gamer. I haven't played those types of games for a few years now unless you count the 3 months I played Kingdom of Loathing. However, I do spend a good deal of my time in front of a computer between work and taking on-line classes for my MBA and trying to run an on-line business.

So I wonder how many years I have taken off my life by staring at all those wonderful pixels day after day?

I think this is a conspiracy by the Chinese government to make it look like the internet is bad for you. 30 year olds don't drop dead from not sleeping and eating for 3 days.
