Dead after 8 hours on laptop.

Recently, on the 23rd of April, a person died after 8 hours in front of her laptop, or her father's one, or who ever it is, from "deep vein thombosis", which really sound like crap. It sounds similar to "peep pain trombonist" or "pop music".

There may be several reasons to her death. It's not just DVT, it could be..

Death from falling over her chair.


There are several instances where people get killed from doing something which is unlikely to kill them, such as playing with the computer, or, playing with the Nintendo Wii:


Yes, there is a limit to using something. Doing something for too long is always bad. I understand that this person had many stuffs to complete, but she had a blood clot on her leg, isn't that a signal for her to stop?

Good things come with sacrifice. I don't know what I mean. Ignore the sentence.

It is very sad. Someone dying from using the computer for too long. It could have been prevented, but that statement exists only after it is too late. Don't believe? :
  1. The 911 tragedy was plotted by a group of radicals, it could have been prevented.
  2. The SARS outbreak killed many innocent people, it could have been prevented.
  3. The accident happened at the second lane of the PIE leading to Jurong West, it could have been prevented.
  4. I want to say, "it could have been prevented"
The point is, this person was horribly stupid. Let me rephrase that statement. The point is this person could have prevented her death by exercising her lower leg muscles, its bad to play computer for the whole day. I myself feel very tired after using the computer for a mere 2 hours. I am not used to staring at the screen for long periods of time, even though I know many thousand more spent forever trying to "level up" their characters on online games.

And I have the list of worse games:
  1. Maplestory
  2. Warcraft: Dota
  3. Audition
  4. O2Jam
I call them stupid because I saw and can see many of my friends wasting time on this games. The hours wasted on the animations played on the screen, pressing buttons continuously, wasting their parents money on prepaid cards. I feel so sad. Their relationship with their families will loosen, as shown in the next cartoon:


Erm, okay.

Click. It is tempting.
