Digital addiction!

Digital addiction seems to be spreading like the plague. Mark Malkoff of Flushing, N.Y., is going cold turkey to break the habit from his cell phone, internet, ipod, and all the gadgets that have become out of hand. He feels these devices are fully controlling his life. 
So, he's decided that isolation may be the cure to breaking his addiction. He's locked himself in his bathroom for 5 days in hopes that this strategy will be the magic bullet that saves his digital dilemma. However, his wife who claims he's hogging the bathroom, is skeptical of his success. In case you're wondering, he sleeps in the tub.

Some addicts are trying limiting their user time, and experimenting with going digital during set time periods only. Others are setting up "No phone zones", where digital is off limits while in these areas.
