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.
