Off-line “detox” center cures internet addiction, one mouse-click at a time
Timing: August 2009
Do you know someone that’s addicted to the internet, video games or text-messaging? The reStart Internet Addiction Recovery Program seems to believe that there are tons online addicts who could use an old-fashioned detoxing to curb their interweb usage. It costs $14,500 for the 45-day program, which is located in the lush forests outside Seattle, Washington (and is coincidentally close to Microsoft’s headquarters). Besides the self-admitted addicts in the Disruptive Media team, your brand could easily support someone who needs help with a small investment…it costs just $14,500 to give an internet addict a fresh new start.
