Internet addiction remains a controversial topic. There
is little agreement on the nature of the problem and even less
agreement on how it should be treated.
However, Chinese housewife He Ling has found rather a fine
solution. Faced with the problem of getting her husband, Jiang
Ming, to spend more time at home and less time in the local
internet cafe, she simply chopped off his right hand.
"I was on the internet, and suddenly felt a numbness in my right
hand. The arrow on the screen stopped moving and I saw my hand
bleeding on the mousepad," Jiang Ming told a local newspaper.
