New Concept Helps Us Manage Our Sad Internet Addictions in Style

May 4 by Ty Dunitz | no comments

My entire life revolves around the internet. Between writing for Techi, interfacing with design clients, talking to friends, and gaming, there is almost not a moment of my life that doesn’t take place online.

I have GOT to get me one of these.

The Reconnect concept by Lars Rosengren is a genius little device. A diagnosed or suspected internet addict (read: you) can strap it onto his or her wrist, and the device helps monitor your social networking activities while periodically reminding you of your real-life priorities, and offering helpful suggestions. On the one hand, it’s sad that we as a people now require such a device. On the other hand, it’s comforting to know that someone’s doing something about it.

Hang on a sec, I just gotta check Facebook real quick.
