Strange New Ways To Combat Your Internet Addiction!
I am addicted to the Internet. I am a busy working parent and still I find the time to check my e-mail, chat with my friends in Yahoo Instant Messenger, read news, forums and on and on.
I need “to know” and I need “to have” more than ever before. I want to get my latest news. I want to spread the news to my on-line and off-line friends, who, I might add, are doing exactly the same. I need to get a new book or … shoes or … gadget just because it is there and easy to buy, no need to drive and look for parking at the mall. Don’t you love these FREE shipping offers? All this is in addition to already being entertained on the Internet watching YouTube, listening to iTunes etc. Do you do the same?
It is not hard to find out if you’re addicted to the Internet. Do you find that when you get online you’re frequently surprised by the amount of time that has passed? Do you find yourself staying home instead of enjoying a beautiful day outside because you’d rather use the Internet?
A recent study from Stanford University School of Medicine found that more than one in eight Americans show signs that they could be suffering from some form of internet addiction.
How do you cure this problem? Google “Internet Addiction” and log on to a bunch of websites? Instant Message other sufferers? Join an Internet support group? Or buy self-help books from our favorite on-line store (after performing an extensive price comparison)? You might as well offer a drink to an alcoholic trying to cure his addiction.
In China, parents send their children as young as 12 to the first officially licensed clinic for Internet addiction at the Beijing Military Region Central Hospital. That is after their kids skip school to spend time playing online games and visiting chat rooms. These kids are admitted suffering from depression, nervousness, panic, fear, agitation, unwillingness to interact with others, sleep disorders, the shakes and numbness in their hands. The daily schedule at the center begins at 6 a.m. and includes electric shock treatment and the administration of intravenous drips to “adjust the unbalanced status of brain secretions”.
This sounds a little extreme to me. How about a gentler American way of approaching this problem? How about using a new high-tech device called SnoopStick?
SnoopStick is a very small USB flash drive device that will allow someone to fully monitor and limit your access to the Internet from any other computer on the Internet. Just run the set-up program on your computer then unplug the device and give it to your trusted friend. Your friend will plug Snoop Stick to any Windows-based computer (in her home or office) and at any time will be able to monitor your Internet use and disable your access to the Internet if needed. You can also specify the times when you will be able to access Internet and SnoopStick will enforce this schedule.
Stay aware, alert, and in control of your Internet with Snoop Stick.

June 21st, 2010 at 6:03 amGo to "start".."run"..type in msconfig then click on "startup"..uncheck anything slowing your system down then click on "Services" and do the same…then you'll have to reboot…when system reboots it will prompt you about the changes you made…just check the box on the bottom left side saying…"don't show this message again"
That should solve your problem…Good luck

Nothing remotely related to consumer grade networking.

June 23rd, 2010 at 5:46 pmvery good but he left out some old and modern internet history.
June 23rd, 2010 at 6:17 pmI think people move in relationships faster online because there is no fear of not being able to say what you actually feel, and you are able to openly express yourself.
Also so many people change themselves online to have a personality that you would like, and those people find out little things about you and incorporate it into who they "are" to make you like them more.
And the fact that you can either lie about your personality is scary, because what if you do meet the person? And then you may never know who you can trust and may not meet real friendly people.
My advise is that less people should indulge on online RELATIONSHIPS and stick with FRIENDSHIP.
have a fantastic day and watch out for online predators !

June 24th, 2010 at 6:44 amFirst you have to share the broadband connection, to do that you have to go to the properties of My Networking Places, then go to the properties of the dial up which connects broadband, go to the Advance tab and click on share.
After sharing your LAN card address will autometically assign to 192.168.0.1, when ask for that click on yes.
Now go to the second PC.
Then properties of My networking places
then propoerties of Local area connection
double click on "Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)"
asgine IP Address=192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask= 255.255.255.0
Gateway=192.168.0.1
DNS= 192.168.0.1
And you are done.
When you put the network cable into your laptop it should bring up (found new hardware) then it will install the drivers then it would need to be rebooted.
June 24th, 2010 at 10:46 amSo all fine so far now that your running again select *connect to a network* from the start menu
this will bring up a box where you select the modem (the one you have connected)
then it will ask for a wep key (or other security code format)
enter the code and then it will connect to the net via that modem
The wep key will be from the settings in the modem (router)
