Its a tuesday afternoon and the entire family, excluding my parents, are sitting in front of the computer.

I dont know whether it happens in other home, but I feel that we are somehow incapable of leaving our computers and internet connection behind. Just imagine what happens if the internet access is disconnected in my house. This inability to do something else without the internet is really frightening me.

My brother and sister are stuck on the computer almost 80% of the waking time and its sickening. I hardly see my sister except for like twice a day (during the hols) - when she comes out of her room to take her meals or use the washroom.

Not that im a saint when it comes to this issue but theyre really getting closer to be a slave to their computers. And im worried.
