Going back..
I'm sure I'm not the only one.. maybe it's one of those mid.. err.. not mid life.. more like post teen life crisis or post teen life effects of introducing the internet..
It has basically become pretty much like a... socialising world for me.. sad to admit but very true.. and I'm pretty sure i'm not the only one!
I mean.. from the very first time I decided to leave my comptuer on and online overnight.. I was doomed..
I still remember before I joined the internet and I could join this dial-up plan for unlimited hrs and unlimited downloads for $30/month.. that was pretty cheap back then! And I use to tell mum.. "nah.. I won't be stuck on the PC, I'll only use it for like 2-3 hrs max a day.."... oohh gee wiiz.. now what?!?! Bloody get home and sit at the box til I go to sleep.. sometimes not even achieving any hw being done..
I really think if I get over this bad habbit then I can achieve SOO SOO much more.. maybe even develop a real life..
hm.. I remember going overseas and not being able to get online and "connecting" with my fellow friends.. that feeling was good.. but then when I didn't have the computer box to face.. there was always the conventional alternative.. the TV Box..
Life seems to revolve around a Box concept.. your life is like a box.. you're governed by certain rules in this world and people are always trying to find a way out of this box..
Well for now, I shouldn't be worrying about the whole life box.. but more about breaking out of my own little box instead.. maybe I can start by turning the computer off over night? I don't think that it's uni that has made me lose my sleeping hours.. but instead.. I reckon it's probably the after effect from all this radiation.. hm..
But then.. once the moment comes to turning it off, you're always thinking.. "NOOO I've got downloads que'ed up!!".. so what then?!?!
Man.. having a computer is alrite.. but without the net.. it's like a car without fuel.. it's like a drug I swear.. the more you don't have it.. the more you'll crave til you finally get your dose.. but then you'll get sick of it..
One day.. or maybe even now.. people's lives are going to rely on computers.. sometimes it might make things better.. at times.. it just might make things worse..

then don't download so much?
im sure heaps of people have said that like i remember telling my parents that if we got cable i wouldnt have to wait until late at night to do my research coz i can do work during the day rather than to wait for everyone to be in bed so i can hog the phone line.
but in the end, im still staying up until the break of dawn doing work. and do i do any during the day? well, i do now since my classes are in the afternoon slash evening.
i recon it's got nothing to do with technology. it's all about our ability to control ourselves. obviously this has proven that humans are useless at self control.
hmm, now that we have realised there is a problem, we shall be role models! hmm, we'll see... after exams, yeh~
