Computers made my secondary marks not as they could have, as I was always modding and overclocking now I'm past that and on to bikes I will suffer the same fate in tech

I suspect internet forums have the same effect (he says, glancing at the "almost started" pile of homework he has next to him...

)

I think I'd better turn the monitor off for a while...

Well that makes sense, but only if you're busy, sometimes, "distractions" are the only things which get you through the day!!

What a lot of rot that article was (the article, not what was being reported).

I really hate it when an idiot trys to report a scientific report.

Things I'd like to know.

1) What was the age demographic
2) What was the technical ability of the demographic
3) What caused the compulsion
4) Where people skilled in time management.

Just saying that one is more compulsive than the other is rubbish as it has no context - especially since one is caused by physical changes and the other is by phsychological changes.
