Digital detox student: Why I can spend all weekend gaming
Tarporley High School student James explained why he couldn't last seven days without gaming as part of a 蜜芽传媒 5 live and 蜜芽传媒 School Report experiment.
Every student at the school was asked to see if they could give up social media and videogames for a week.
James couldn't go the distance though, because of his love for videogames. He explained that he regularly played games until midnight on weeknights and, at the weekend, could spend "most of the day" playing, often - in his words - "not getting out of my pyjamas".
James said he wasn't addicted to games and still "had a life outside of these games" but that it was something he "enjoyed" doing.
