Solutions for Internet users

                                                    
1. Try to divide the hours you spend on the internet and step away to do something different.

2. Try brainstorming or using class notes in writing as this method can help in not using the internet to get ideas for writing on a topic. If you do not have enough information from class, call a friend to assist in whatever information you do not have on that topic.

3. When you are using the Internet for writing,  stop, get up and walk away from the computer for a while to allow ideas to come into your head, and keep a pen and paper handy to jot down those ideas, so that when you go back to writing, you will have something fresh that you thought of and not the Internet giving you ideas.

4. Divert and gradually increase your time in reading which can help in rebuilding your reading level, and mental concentration, instead of skimming through the Internet for reading.

5. Use the Internet only when it is absolutely necessary for reading and writing.

6. Over using the computer and Internet not only affects the ability to read in-depth or write, but it affects the nerves in the hand causing what is known as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and over use or long term use of the internet causes strain on the eyes.

 Final Note: Know that the overuse of anything is not good for anyone, so use the internet wisely, but not so much that it makes you stupid and become dependent on its use.
