POV: "WEB JUNKIE"
July 13, 2015  | By David Bianculli

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

China is the first country in the world to declare “Internet addiction” a national health crisis – and the country is seeking ways not only to define this new “illness,” but to treat it. Web Junkie looks at a real-life program that sounds like the stuff of A Clockwork Orange fiction: a three-month program designed as high-tech rehab, to wean addicted web users from their online habits. Be warned: If you like this installment of P.O.V. on Facebook, you’re not part of the solution. You’re part of the problem. Check local listings.
