I need some help to control this addiction & want to know how do you guys control it in case you find yourself lingering on the Forums or in general on the Internet.
Many things I do on my Laptop which are quite useful like ...Banking, Investments, emails, use google & Youtube to find what & how about things in general and the list goes on & on. I do check up on various Forums but then I find that it absorbs hours like a Sponge.
I realize the Internet is becoming more & more essential to deal with things & with the world in general but as I do not have to move out of my couch physically, at the end it leaves me with a feeling I did not get much done.
I have recently retired & that may be adding to this, my wife thinks I am with my Laptop lot more, Digital Time is getting more at the expense of homan interaction. I see all the time people engrossed on their Smart Phones any chance they get, one consolation is that I only rarely do any thing other than talk & text, use GPS on my Iphone.
Any thoughts on this ??
