Computer addiction (lets find a cure)

<p>I'm sure many of you guys are addicted to computers even though you have nothing to do, you find stuff to do. This problem has plagued us all. Many people procrastinate on the computer. </p>

<p>What can we do to be more productive?</p>

<p>Well I try to turn off my laptop, stuff if into a drawer, and turn off the wireless internet connection when i'm at home to make sure i don't distract myself, but I rarely have the willpower to do that.</p>

3

<p>Nothing works until it is late at night.</p>

<p>Having motivation to do your work is essential.</p>

<p>Everything I do involves a computer...If I'm doing homework and I can't find/am too lazy to find something in the text book, I move my keyboard onto my books for a second and look it up. It's never really been a distraction to me since I use the computer for everything (I have a personal wiki set up for keeping track of my classes, work, notes, and past assignments).</p>

<p>Anyway, if it really is a problem for you there is a very simple solution.</p>

<p>Sledge Hammer</p>

<p>Fun, affective, and powerful. Broken computer? Sledge Hammer. Computer Addiction? Sledge Hammer. Giant paper mache replica of George W. Bush? Sledge Hammer.</p>

<p>no lets not find a cure -_-</p>

<p>just turn off your computer and stay in your room for 1 hour.

<p>although...it does sound kinda dumb</p>

<p>I read the pitiful stories at WoW Detox.. Makes me think a lot.</p>
