Brain Pollution



Brain Pollution (脳内汚染)
Takashi Okada (岡田尊司)
ISBN 4-16-367840-9

This is a shocking book.

It's often mentioned that addiction in video games is very harmful for brains.
But, according to several psychological surveys, there seems to be strong
correlation between diffusion of TV and increase of crimes resulted from
psychological problems.

Simply speaking, contemporary media from TV to video games are
NOT natural for the development of mind or humanity and
human being cannot adapt to the rapid dissemination of contemporary media,
thus they can be said as poison for especially small children.

So, after finishing this book, I reduced time for watching TV actually.
Of course, this is mainly for my daughter...

Sounds like an interesting book. When I can read more Japanese, I will have to pick it up.
