During the reattaching process, I began to get the line between broad and specific, and realize I may adjust my topic in order to have a better space to have deeper research.

My initial idea was to create a project that can really functional help the addicts to adjust their gaming time. However, the reason for gaming addiction relates to too many fields and till now there is no a therapy healing them without relapse. Although I only focus on the game mechanism to talk about this question, I still can persuaded myself that I can control my own gaming time when I am in addictive status.

So I think it’s better to provide a space for people think about the behavioral control and our impairing autonomy in the digital world.

 

Question: How can we raise and provoke people’s awareness of autonomy in the addictive digital environment?

• what’s ethic when there’s a conflict between human freedom and economic benefit?
• how to define human autonomy in the future.
