Late Night Mobile Games In China

 How to prevent children from playing mobile games at night in China?

Chinese company Tencent, famous for online games, is now going to introduce a new facial recognition feature that will prevent children from playing any game between 10 pm and 8 am.


The company says that with the help of this technology called 'Midnight Patrol', every trick to avoid the government curfew will be caught. The curfew was introduced by the government in 2019 to set a limit on in-game money transfers by young gamers.

Under these restrictions, gamers have to register themselves in the game using their real identity. This information is already available in the national database.

But according to reports, to avoid this, children are playing games day and night using the identities of adults instead.

Now after these measures, gamers will have to prove they are adults through facial recognition for a long time.



Tencent started testing the system in 2018, but the technology will be available in more than 60 games from the world's largest gaming company.

Age verification of users via cameras is already being proposed for online purchases and products intended for adults.


In 2018, the World Health Organization declared gaming as an addiction.


The following year, the NHS introduced treatment plans to help some gamers recover from their addiction.

But in China, it has been claimed that video games have a negative effect on young people. An example of this is nearsightedness in children.

  In China, some measures have been taken to deal with this problem, such as a regulatory body approving game titles. In 2018, it reduced the number of games by freezing them.

Learn to live with Water Scarcity

  Learn to live with water scarcity Regions around the world are experiencing drought and water scarcity, even in places that once had abundant rainfall, and this situation will worsen as the planet warms. In 2018, nearly all water taps ran dry in the South African port city of Cape Town. Then it became the second largest city in the world suffering from severe water shortage. This problem still occurs. This year, communities 750 kilometers east of ' Nelson Mandela Bay' will find their reservoirs dry by July. The Cape Town administration has taken strict measures regarding water usage to avoid this 'Day Zero'. The city administration has increased water usage rates and fines and has worked with the agricultural sector to reduce water consumption and maintain soil moisture. Residents of the area will maintain a daily water consumption limit of only 50 liters or 13 gallons. Remember that one load of laundry can use up to 70 liters of water.

A Thirst for Economic Growth

  Although socio-economic factors create water problems, they can be countered with better water management. Between 1961 and 2014, the rate of global freshwater withdrawal (whether from ground or underground reservoirs) increased 2.5 times. According to WRI, water demand for crop irrigation has doubled in the last half century and irrigation accounts for about 67 percent of water used. In 2014, industry requires nearly three times as much water as in 1961 and now accounts for 21 percent of total water use. Although domestic water consumption accounts for 10 percent of total water use, it has increased sixfold since 1961. And very little water is used for animal consumption. But crops grown for animal feed consume 12 percent of the world's irrigation system. That's why experts believe that by reducing the growing demand for animal meat, we can reduce the pressure on water resources. Hofstede says that this is the only way to solve the global water problems. "We use a lot ...
