Addicted To The Internet? Overcome it With these Useful Tips
They say that everything should be exercised in moderation. That performing too much of anything can be considered an addiction and recently researchers at Stanford University Medical Center are concluding that Internet-addiction has become a widespread problem. I believe that the problem is that those who don’t comprehend the exciting interactive experience of the internet assume that to enjoy being online for “non-essential” reasons, signifies some problem but as an avid blogger, I respectfully disagree. Nevertheless, here’s some tips to abate having to log on or check emails constantly.
Facebook is beating MySpace
According to ComScore metric numbers, the battle of social-networking sites seems to be in favor of Facebook with more visitors and subscribers compared to MySpace for the month of May. I have a desolated MySpace page which I rarely update and utilized and although I can say the same about my Facebook profile, at least the latter gives me the option to showcase online activity from other services such as Twitter, Flickr and Vimeo.
Advantages of Living in Brooklyn
With the exception of living 5 years in El Salvador, I’ve considered myself a Queens resident all of my life until Vanessa and I moved in together in Brooklyn and I wanted to take this time to point out some good perks of living in such a well known county.
- People automatically assume you’re tough because you live in Brooklyn.
- Quick and easy access to Manhattan.
- Depending on which part of Brooklyn you live, you have a beautiful view of Manhattan skyline at your disposal.
- Don’t have to pay taxes on certain purchases as oppose to Long Island.
- Multiculturalist neighborhood to experience a taste of the world.
- Home of the greatest rappers (Biggie Smalls, Jay-Z).
- We finally have our own IKEA in Redhook.
Amazing vibrant colors. I would imagine this is what Puerto Rico would look like and I’ll be there to photograph it next month. The seagull just adds to the uniqueness of this photo. (via *atrium09)
Good Experience on the Amazon Kindle
I sound like a broken record already in wanting to purchase a Kindle but have put off the idea because I’ve yet to experience one in person. If you live in Brooklyn and feel generous in sharing the experience, shoot me an email. (via Fling)
