Internet gaming disorder is new child's lifestyle disease

With the times, new innovation devices will be announced to the world, and a boom will occur one after another. But those negative effects will not be visible until a while later. Today, the population of the Internet and games, including adults and businesses, who enjoy them has become too large.
   "Youtuber" and "eSports player" are now ranked high in the profession that children want to be, instead of soccer players, baseball players, teachers, nursery teachers, doctors, candy stores, florists, etc. The annual income of famous YouTubers and eSports plyers are high. Moreover, the annual income exceeds that of professional soccer players and baseball players. The annual salary is 1 million USD or more, sponsored by a international game company, and a professional gamer plays in a online for all over the world.

In 2021, I think Internet Gaming Disorders (IGD) is now a new global “children's lifestyle-related disease”.
