When many people think electronic gadgets they think the US, and rightfully so. We in this country love our cell phones and video games. But in Japan things are no different. In fact there is a growing concern there about people that become totally obsessed with new technologies, especially video games. Video gaming has become very popular in Japan. Kids are even becoming addicted to the games that they play. In one instance a Japanese man died from heart failure after playing video games for 20 plus hours straight. Another man there married his PC game bride.

Also, for example with the I-phone, when it first came out, the Japanese were not that impressed. Well a couple of years and later and they are totally obsessed with it. Its increase in popularity there is the highest in the world. It rose almost 350% in the last year alone. The US was not second either, we were ranked 10th.

So you see we are not the only country that loves to play video games and that love to play on our phones. In some ways we are very similar to the Japanese people and their culture.
