SOME SIGNS TO DIAGNOSE WHETHER U R TOO MUCH DEPENDENT ON NET
******************************************************************************
* You wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and stop to check your e-mail on the way back to bed.
* You get a tatoo that reads "This body best viewed with Firefox2.0 or higher."
* You name your children Eudora, Mozillia and Dotcom.
* You turn off your modem and get this awful empty feeling, like you just pulled the plug on a loved one.
* You spend half of the plane trip with your laptop on your lap...and your child in the overhead compartment.
* You decide to stay in college for an additional year or two, just for the free Internet access.
* You laugh at people with slow net connection.
* You start using smileys in your handwritten mails.
* Your hard drive crashes. You haven't logged in for two hours. You start to twitch. You pick up the phone and manually dial your ISP's access number. You try to hum to communicate with the modem... And you succeed.
* You find yourself typing "com" after every period when using a word processor.com
* You refer to going to the bathroom as downloading.
* You start introducing yourself as "JohnDoe at AOL dot com."
* All of your friends have an @ in their names.
* Your cat/dog has its own home page.
* You can't call your mother... she doesn't have a home net connection.
* You check your mail. It says "no new messages." So you check it again.
* Your phone bill comes to your doorstep in a box.
* You don't know what sex three of your closest friends are, because they have neutral nicknames and you never bothered to ask.
* You move into a new house and decide to rxpg
before you landscape.
* You tell the cab driver you live at "http://1000.edison.garden/house/brick.html." |
1. whenever i wake up, i check my mail first, then go to the bathroom, come back and check my mail again. My PC is online all the time, and its right in front of my bed.
2. When i turn off my modem, it feels like '28 days later' , cut off from the world.
3.Handwritten mails? Its been years since i wrote one.
4. Going to the bathroom is purging the system, more like deleting all Malware LOL

No wait, going to the bathroom is like emptying the recycle bin. Finally getting rid of all that waste lying around.

Internet Dependency - Solution

 I was also way too much dependent on net a last year, when i started this thread.
But slowly i figured out a solution inspired from my mistakes.
"The best way to remove an internet dependency will be to switch off the emotions while logging in"
Its for the same reason i deliberately use a silly processor as my avatar.
Kinda helps me to stay like Monk while i am online.
I can switch off my emotions whenever i wish, it helps a lot.
Because of that i can express my emotions only in those places where its needed the most.
eg: getting a 'thank you' from some one, getting a scrap or message from a friend.
