Watch out!
Look what happens to people who try to solve their problems by surfing the Great Old Net.

China's tough boot camp for Internet addiction
Compulsive Internet use has been categorized as a mental health issue in many countries, including the United States, but China was among the first to label “Internet addiction” a clinical disorder. This short documentary about a Chinese boot-camp-style treatment center for young men “addicted” to the Internet.

When Chinese who are now taking over the whole world come to a town near you, make sure they do not catch you surfing the Net.

Hi Anil,
If you think you don't have it, you already have it.
Beliefs can and do negate reality.

Hi Bob,
It's too late to get a life.
We all are trapped already.
Hard labor for everyone ...

I think I use to be like you. In the past I use to come home from school and getting addicted to the computer by going on youtube and playing online computer video games.
