My Internet hell
As an experiment, four volunteers each lived alone for 100 hours.
They were dressed only in a bathrobe and had to get everything
that they needed from the Internet
A dazed but relieved Emma Gibson told of her 'seedy' ordeal
yesterday after four days trapped in cyberspace.
With three other volunteers, the out-of-work actress had agreed
to be locked alone in a small room with just a computer and the Inter-
net for company.
One hundred hours, three marriage proposals and dozens of lewd
messages later, Miss Gibson, 30, emerged blinking into the sunshine
rather glad the experience was over.
With the eyes of the world quite literally upon her - small cam-
eras broadcast her every move on the Web - Internet Heaven had be-
come more of a nightmare at times. 'I wanted to get out at the end. Too
much Internet is bad for the health,' she said.
Net users were able to contact her using e mails or chat rooms -
electronic conversation forums.
Miss Gibson, from London, added: 'Chat rooms are a pretty
seedy experience in my view, especially if you are female and being
viewed by a web-camera. It attracts a few perverts. I was being looked
at and when someone was getting pervy with their language, a towel
went over the camera."
