Good advice, good idea. Now if I could just pause in my addiction long enough to try it!

would it be bad if this makes me want to look up videos about baby platypuses?
hm... sometimes when I get an email alert for a story I'm following online, I'll not open it and decide to look at it later - and then end up not looking at it for months. And sometimes when I'm interested in something online, I'll keep that thing in its own tab to look at later - and then end up with 30 tabs and having to figureΒ everything out when I need to restart the computer.
I guess with me, it's like, if I don't look at something right away, I lose interest in it and tend to feel like looking for new stuff when I do have free time.
But I also think you have some interesting ideas about stuff.

Interesting proposal.
Curiously enough, I was imagining something a lot like this the other day...
basically I wanted to make something that gives advice to those who need to "wake up" from the digital zombification.
I think your piece here could do the trick.
(personally, though, I don't use a "Free Time" folder...
...the way that I use my Bookmarks is a bit like a "filing system".
I find articles or websites that grab my attention, and then I put them into a categorized folder.
Sort of like the categories you find on different Imageboards.)
The "internet" is an open-ended book.
When you are faced with this, "The Internet" can go on, Ad Infinitum, as long as there are devices that can use it...
...Life....which exists in these things called Humans....has to remember:
Life was here before Wi-Fi, and pictures of what people ate that day.

This is a good idea...my internet addiction has mostly waned on it's own, but I still check dA most days...and I have to stay away from facebook for the most part or I really get sucked in.

Yeah, I know what that's like...

when i start doing RSS feed and start to copy links to notepad (instead of bookmarking,yeah, because i tend to re-install my firefox and forgot to make back-up my bookmarks and lost all. happens to for the 2nd time) then i can take 2 hrs unlike before i spend almost 8/10 hours in computer
this really helpful

thank you for making this, it makes my eyes open to see what i've done for the last 3 years since i use a smartphone... And it's addicting yet dangerous at the same time :SΒ

hah this is a hars but very true lifelesson! I am one of those people who goes on youtube and then spends hours just watching random videos. You have made all that in a very cute and funny little comic to help smack people in the face and realise that they're waisting time on the internet. Thank you for the good tips! I'll be sure to use them
