Like spider man says
“With great power comes great responsibilities”
We need to realize what is the threshold that we need to set after which we don’t let the technology take control of our lives.

I think we all need to realize the difference between want and need.

Pronounced as <i>Sayok</i>. He is a Lawrencian, a year senior to me. Guess what, I hardly talked to him in school though both of us knew we were good students :D But that was that. It is only the internet that brought us closer and nowadays we are in good touch... online! No thats a Bong name! Pronounced as Sayok. He is a Lawrencian, a year senior to me.

In fact my next post is going to be on internet induced attention deficit! Hi Sayakda, it is indeed true what you say. In fact my next post is going to be on internet induced attention deficit!

For instance I very often get the feeling that I waste time by chatting with friends at night with whom I spent a considerable part of the day. I also have the useless habit of going through people 's profiles in orkut, and many other things like that, which at the end of the day, make me feel very stupid. I could have spent these leisure hours reading a book, or watching a good movie, whatever it may be, but in a more useful way. Scope of getting distracted has increased quite alarmingly these days. You cannot blame the kid, who puts aside the story books or throws away the set of pastel colours, or even refuses to go out in the evening just to kill a few dozens more in COUNTER STRIKE.
