Sentence: Joanie become so addicted to her computer, that she became eblivious to everyone and everything else around her. Between her e-mails, surfing the Net, playing games, shopping online, ordering food electronically, competing on her daily Verbotomy site, gambling on-line, doing surveys and writing her own blog about the life she used to lead as a human, she had no time for anything else. Not only did she let her personal hygiene and appearance lapse, she was developing rectangular eyeballs and callouses on her fingertips from clicking and dragging all day and night. What would become of her when they shut off her e-lectricity and she had to face the real world once again? Oh, Joanie, how your eblivion has cost you...
Etymology: e - (shortcut prefix for electronic) & oblivious - (unaware of or paying no attention to somebody or something; forgetting about somebody or something)
