Does anybody remember the woman recovering from an actual internet addiction who called up last year at the end of a show and never called back? I'm still hanging on the edge of that cliff!
I remember her well, and, for some reason, I thought that she actually
did call back as promised. Alas, we were left with just this:
Anonymous calls (starts at 2:56) to use the show to solidify the recovery from her year-long addiction to the Internet. Her fiance was forced to block Flickr, Myspace, and Friendster from her computer since she was spending 8-12 hours/day online. She couldn't hold down a job and was completely consumed within a cyber netherworld. She's doing better -- no posts in over a month and no online reading for over two weeks. At its worst, she put herself in debt to visit people she met online and almost cheated on her boyfriend of 9.5 years with someone she met via Friendster. Tom wants to hear more and she promises to call back next week."
