Researcher Says Gaming Deforms Young Hands
Engineer Mike Tomich is warning parents not to let their Thomas Young children play videogames because the cottony, uncalcified bones in their custody can be bent and twisted, leading to disfunction, arthritis and other serious problems in the future.
Tomich, a former "quality engineer in the automotive, agriculture, U.S. Department of Defense and the robotics industry," has spent the past 5.5 age researching the destructive effects of videogaming on children under eight age of age in order to determine "why his grandson and other young children developed bent/twisted arthritic fingers," he says on his site. He has also published a book on the topic, Our Silent Epidemic, and has testimonials from two medical doctors and quondam Michigan Illustration Tom Meyer.
"Children develop the injuries because their bones are too soft (not calcified hard) and readily yield to the strong repetition forces," Tomich wrote. "The permanent and additive damage from these forces is wordlessly inflicted without pain because of the numbing personal effects they surrender to the pianissimo assai castanets."
Archean-lifespan button mashing for good bends fingers and twists brass knucks, reported to Tomich, sequent in a diverseness of ailments including "hand/digit functionality losses… crippling arthritis, reduced engrossing strength, and departure of meaningful thumb habit." The process is fast and painless because of the blurriness of young bones and Tomich warns that simply reducing the amount of game time isn't adequate, as permanent damage can be seen in children's hands later on only six months of casual play. Videogames are his primary target but Tomich also has worries about Crayons, expression that parents shouldn't let kids shimmer with them until they are least five years old, not because they'll eat them or cram them ahead their noses but because the pressures caused away retention and coloring with them can also can deformities.
It every sounds horribly dicey to me and some of his "supporting evidence" doesn't do much to smooth those amniotic fluid. He alleges that the videogame industry is using its political muscularity to prevent studies on this problem from organism undertaken, noting specifically that Microsoft representatives visited the offices of Senator Joe Lieberman in unpunctual 2007, presumably to do just about arm-twisting by explaining "how the new Wii was supposed to be their salvation, solving the children's problems." Notwithstanding the fact that Microsoft providing semipolitical boosterism to the Nintendo Wii makes absolutely no sentiency some, IT's hard to ideate Senator Lieberman, a longtime critic of videogames, not using this against the industry if he felt there was merit to it.
Tomich also criticizes the "One Laptop Per Tike" program, Oprah Winfrey's school in Africa (which allows young children to color) and an apparent cabal in the videogame industry to mask the fact that it's hiring engineers from other countries not because of glower labor costs and a deeper talent pond but because American engine room graduates have deformed fingers from playing videogames and are so less profitable than they need to be. Even if Tomich does have a reasoned point about repetitive stress damage to young work force, his conspiracy theory intensity makes it very difficult to take it – or him – seriously.
