Virtual Baby Games Online Biography
source(google.com.pk)This is a very sad story. A South Korean couple have been arrested for starving their baby to death. The couple allegedly neglected their three-month-old daughter, who was born premature.
Once a day, between 12-hour stretches at a neighborhood Internet cafe, they fed their baby. Instead of nurturing their own daughter, they became obsessed with raising a virtual child in the popular role-playing game called Prius Online. The couple were arrested in Suwon, a suburb of Seoul, 5 months after reporting the death of their baby. The baby’s autopsy showed that she’d died due to a long period of malnutrition.
Chung Jin-won, a police officer, said, “The couple seemed to have lost their will to live a normal life, because they didn’t have jobs and gave birth to a premature baby. They indulged themselves in the online game of raising a virtual character so as to escape from reality, which led to the death of their real baby.”
Kwak Dae-kyung, a professor at Seoul’s Dongguk University, told the Yonhap news agency that the couple lost track of reality.
“Online game addiction can blur the line between reality and the virtual world. It seems that taking care of their on-line game character erased any sense of guilt they may have had for neglecting their daughter.”
The professor went on to urge the government to create measures to encourage families and neighbors to contact local authorities or hospitals if people close to them show symptoms of online addiction.
This is the dirty underbelly of South Korea’s fast and cheap Internet connections. Over the last ten years, there have been many stories of Internet addiction and compulsive gaming leading to serious consequences and even death. In 2007, South Korea established an Internet addiction camp to help people overcome their addiction to the Internet.How to Throw an Online Baby Shower
Recently I was presented with a challenge. My sister, who lives in Florida, became pregnant. I wondered how I was going to give her a proper baby shower with the rest of her family living in Pennsylvania. After what seemed like hours on the internet searching, I came up short. That's when I came up with the idea of having an online baby shower for her. Granted, it wasn't a traditional baby shower, but it was a shower none the less.

I found that there is a way to bring friends and family together for this joyous occasion without feeling pressured to have a traditional baby shower. “No it can't quite be at grandma's house, but it could be at grandma's house on the net at Aunt Sally's and Cousin Linda's. You have the ability to make it global,” suggests Robin Elise from About.com in regards to online baby showers. With this in mind, hosting your own online baby shower can be fun, easy and economical. Here's how I did it.
How to Start
If you are familiar with Facebook at all you will know that they have an "events" page where you can create your own event. After you have clicked on that page you enter in the span of time you would like your party to run for. A month or less is more than enough time for everyone to leisurely decide if they want to attend the party or not. You can chose any amount of time that suits you for your own party. With the soon-to-be parents involved in the invitation sharing, this takes the guess work out of mailing out invitations. We all know that the first baby shower is the most important and sometimes the only shower for the parent's-to-be, so let the sharing begin!
Next upload a picture to spiff up your events page. Choose a cute photo from Google images that suites your shower theme nicely. You can chose any image you'd like from your own computer. A picture of the parents-to-be or an ultrasound picture would be suitable as well.
Since this is such a new concept, many people are not aware of what is expected of them. That is where your hostess skills come in. In the description portion is where you introduce yourself, explain what exactly a virtual baby shower is and what is expected of your guests. If you know the gender of the baby I would recommend adding this in your party description as well. It just makes gift buying easier for your guests. I had a lot of questions in regards to how this works and my standard answer was, “it is simple.” And it really is that simple once you wrap your brain around the fact that it is casual and not very traditional.
Games
In order to keep things fun and upbeat introduce party games. Every week for the entire month you can post new game in the comments section of the events page. All your guests are required to do is to check into the events page every week and give their answer. Keeping in the party game spirit I offered a $20 gift card to each winner.
Here are some popular games I chose:
How big is mom-to-be's belly?
How big do you think the baby will weigh?
On what day do you think the baby will be born?
And last, but not least, your traditional word scramble. The quickest person to inbox me the correct answers won.
