I asked over the weekend and just got told that Crackberry'd: The Truth about Information Overload will be shown this Friday night, 7 January at midnight (00:00) on CNBC Africa (DStv 410). The doccie will be repeated on CNBC Africa on Saturday 15 January at 16:00 as well as on Sunday 16 January.

Are these devices detrimental to our health because we spend more time ''connecting''? What are the signs of internet addiction and how do you manage computer and cellphone use?
