Videohypertransference is the general name given to effect of various forms of 'video' (television, computer games, film, etc.) on human behaviour. It is related to the sociological phenomenon whereby members of a society are indoctrinated with a set of cultural norms (so called normative behaviour). It is also related to the psychological phenomenon of conditioning. It is a rather new cultural phenomenon, and, as such, is often seen as an obvious or self-evident aspect of our society, and therefore not worthy of comment. The effects of videohypertransference are explored in the works of the film maker David Cronenberg, especially in the 1983 film Videodrome. In this film the main character becomes obsessed with a secret video broadcast, the effect of which spills out of his private life, pervading his every day life. Ultimately he becomes a video programmable killing machine (both literally and quite graphically), a slave to the television broadcast. The phenomenon is behind the reason the computer game Grand Theft Auto was banned in Brazil (and now Japan), and its influence on common thinking is what provoked outcry when two children murdered a third in Scotland last year - Allegedly they played violent video games. Also more recent cases have been made (see external links). The phenomenon was behind the popular modern 'disease' that surfaced in the early 90's called 'tetritis', which was the result of playing too much Tetris! Common anecdotal accounts of this specific kind of videohypertransference include; momentarily seeing the cross-hair of the sniper rifle from the computer game GoldenEye after playing the game all night; seeing zombies lurking in dark corners after playing Resident Evil for greater than 12 hours; having a sudden urge to run after a nice car and pull the driver out after playing Grand Theft Auto. These fleeting anti-social urges or fealings are surpressed by the frontal lobes, regions of the brain often damaged in individuals who exhibit personality disorders. == External Links == *Videogame violence **[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/leicestershire/3934277.stm Game blamed for hammer murder]. **[http://news.scotsman.com/scitech.cfm?id=871302004 Parents to sue makers of violent game] **[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/1959632.stm Playing the game: Germany's teenage killer] ** [http://play.gamenikki.com/Pages/Articles/EpylkFlkFEvNyQqsfJ.php4 Research]
