"Playing Around With The Hands Of Time And The Screen."

Have you ever asked yourself where do the hours pass by when you do homework and the next day you find out it’s incomplete? It doesn’t make sense right? I mean you spent so many hours doing homework and yet it seems that overnight half of it ran for its life. To me it sounds like your hours didn’t run for its life but that it jumped to a hole called distraction. What? What distraction? Well you tell me, I’d say an estimate of over 85% of teenagers are involved in a social network which includes hot websites such as: Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. Roughly the same equivalent to that percentage have experienced going from doing homework for a couple of minutes to finding themselves wasting hours chatting on such popular networks where you can stay connected with friends. There’s a point though, we need computers to do such things as research, typed papers, etc. So how can we avoid the “Network Effect” as I call it? I’m no expert but in my own personal opinion I think the best thing to do is to set yourself time for friends and time for study, homework, or essays that are due throughout the week. It is not hard and most of all teens complain about the amount of homework that they have when they don’t even notice that they have so much more time to finish it and still be socially active. Don’t fight time itself; it is not there to put a halt to your life, It’s actually quite the opposite; it’s there to move your life forward.
