It's never easy to
overcome innate nerdity, a serious Internet addiction, or a
hard-core computer gaming habit, but trying usually isn't as
painful as kidney stones. Here's how:
Let go of the
mouse.
Turn off the
computer.
Play a game of
solitaire with a real deck of cards.
Eat something other
than taco chips.
Fart without
recording it and putting it up your Web
page.
Get some sleep in
bed rather than on your keyboard.
Next time you wake
up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, don't
tell everyone on your ICQ list about it.
Open a window
without turning your computer back on (yes, it is possible).
Very gradually expose your eyes to increasingly bright light
so as to avoid damage or permanent sun
blindness.
When you feel
prepared for a massive dose of non-CRT radiation, put on
welding goggles and go outside.
If you see someone,
say "Hi" to them instead of trying to make the modem connect
sound.
Visit a friend that
you haven't spoken to in years because they don't have an
email address.
Have ".com"
officially removed from behind your name. Go on a date with
someone you didn't meet in a chat
room. |
