China is the only country in the world to have a dedicated rehab facility for those addicted to the internet. Web Junkie takes a close look inside.
In a world where access to the web reaches almost every corner, China is the first country to acknowledge internet addiction as a legitimate disorder and establish systematic measures for treatment. This system is an unprecedented step in the race to quantify the role of the internet in our lives as well as the impact it has on direct communication between people. Following the stories of three young men working through internet rehab, Web Junkie provides a link between two separate generations and their opinions on the internet and its consequences.
