People use Internet to search things that they want to find out.Well I use the Internet to gain some knowledge for example if I do not know a particular question I would surf in the Internet to find out.
People can't be working for 24 hours everyday as people do need rest therefore, they can spend sometime playing games.We should not play to long asas we might be short sighted?So plan your time properly or we will get strees by studies or get addicted to computer games.
I think parents should put passwords for their child's Facebook, Youtube, etc. accounts which only they know, and set an alarm for the child( e.g. the child starts going on Facebook at 4pm and an alarm goes off at 4.30pm for the child). If that doesn't work, however, parents could probably tempt them by saying e.g. they have to get 85 and above for their exams to get 2 hours worth of computer games. The best thing, however, is to set a password for the computer so that the child has no access to it when he/she turns it on.
I will set a time limit for myself to play computer because if I do not set one, I will be playing the computer for the whole entire day. I will also plan a timetable which tells me when can I play computer and when must I study. This way, I will not be too engrossed in playing computer and neglect my studies which are far more important. Besides gaming, there are many other uses of the Internet. Some of which are chatting with friend, doing online homework, watching videos, listening to music and researching for information.
Some of the few ways to take control of yourself from computer addiction is: 1. You can go outside and play instead of staying in inside like a computer worm. 2. You can play for a short while or either go do your homework or take a rest so you won't be tuckered out.The other uses of the internet are that you can surf it and gain valuble information from it as it may help you in your studies,and it also can be used to keep in touch with friends or other people through Facebook or Twitter.It also can be used to store information and turn them into a slideshow for your students(if your a teacher or someone else).And you also can play games that help you in your studies like playing the games on AsknLearn.
I can limit the amount of time i spent on the Internet. By doing this, I can ensure that I will not spent too much time on the Internet, so as to focus better on my studies. I am not trying to say that we could not use the Internet at all but we must know when to stop. Spending our time on our studies or with our family and friends is more important than spending our time on the Internet. Even if we use the Internet quite often, we must know how balance our time spent on the Internet and in the real world. Besides gaming on the Internet, we can use the Internet for doing research, going on the school's website or even chat with our friends or family members in other countries or in Singapore, we can also do many other things on the Internet.
Besides using the method that mention on the newspaper, my most convince method is that to put my homework beside me . So I will always remember that I still has homework to write.
Besides gaming the computer also has a lot of interesting uses. For example , you just need to sit on the chair and yu can get the information that you want from all over the world. Another example is the when you are typing on to the keyboard you don’t need correction tape and pen . You can save as many things as you want . Also you can send email to yo friend, most message free. So besides gaming , the computer also has a lot of other uses too!
Computer addiction happens when you can think of nothing else but being at the computer. The addiction causes you to be away from the world itself. What I mean is that if you are addicted to the computer, you will not be aware of what is happening around you.
You should think about how the computer can affect your eyes. The computer can make your eyesight bad if you play games or watch videos on the computer most of the time or look at the computer too closely.
I think you should not spend more than 2 hours on the computer per day. There should be a 10 minutes break for every 40 minutes use.
You can try to play the computer only once or twice a week or set a time limit for playing the computer which is not too long not too short.We can also use the computer for study research or shopping online.
I think I am not addicted to computer because I do not think of being at the computer all the time. I use my spare time on other things like reading a book, drawing, playing board games with my sister and having conversations with my parents.
The internet is also useful to check for things that you do not know like how a flower turns into a fruit. My mother also limit my time on the computer so I do not have to worry about computer addiction!
some people are addicted to the computer. some are addicted to games and some are addicted to multimedia.I think putting sleeping drugs in their parents drinks is against the law and it is very bad as they are below 18.
The internet,a very famous word in the whole world.But when you over do it,you will not escape it.So,I am here to talk about only 1 advice to you.Do not use the internet everyday.That is how you will get trapped in internet,so,just play the computer 4or5 times each month.
I restrain myself not to use the computer to long as I might get myopia .After using the computer for forty minutes ,I would rest for thirty minutes by massaging my eyes ,looking at objects that are far away from me etc.the internet is dangerous because it is a place for the uncontrolled people to transmit inappropriate information on it .Other than gaming addiction , the internet is used for different purposes like:Posting illegal information ,posting unpleasant comments etc.
To prevent computer addiction, I stay away from the computer. I occupy myself by doing other activities like: reading, drawing, going out to play, talking with friends on the phone (but mind you, not too long), painting and so forth. I usually limit myself to about 30 minutes and I only play it on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. I don’t play longer than 30 minutes but if you do, I suggest you take a 5 minutes break after 30 minutes. If you are forgetful and always forget the time, you could ask someone to call you when 30 minutes is over. If you don’t have anyone at home, you could set a timer or your alarm clock to ring 30 minutes later.
The Internet was originally meant for researching, not playing. This is its main purpose. There are also other purposes, example:
1) Communicating to other people
2) Finding the meaning of words (from the dictionary), images, and activities to do...
3) Spreading news
4) Weather forecasting
5) Printing articles, images, newspaper clippings and others.
6) Sharing information to help others
These are only some of the purposes the Internet is for.
You see, the Internet can be a great resource if we use it the right way so let’s use it wisely!
To avoid being addicted to the Internet, I will take note of the time when I start. Then I will use the Internet for one hour straight or else half and hour. If I use the Internet for half an hour, I can use the Internet for another half an hour at a different time.
Another way that I use to avoid being addicted is to control the number of websites I go. For example, I go up to five websites when I am using the Internet.
What are other uses of the Internet besides gaming? Some other common examples are sending emails, chatting on voice and video, conferencing, transferring files and documents and browsing the different websites in the Internet.
Drugs is a terrible "medicine"because this can lead you to brain damage,liver damage,heart attacks,strokes and seizures.There are some common and harmful drugs.There
are:marijuana,cocaine,heroin,crack,ecstasy and so on.Some drugs can make you seeing things like there is actually a kid laughing but what you see is a kid crying.So, never ever take drugs because,these can make you in danger!!Chung Jia Wei 5Compassion.
to control my gaming addiction i only play the computer for 2 hours everyday and other uses of the internet is Facebook, YouTube and Google Search.
for me,if i cannot use the computer for games,i will use my computer
searching about homework or history
If I were a computer addict, I will try my best to stay away from the computer. But how?(Here are some examples below)
1) spend more times outdoors
2) do some more work
3) play handheld gmes or card games other than electronic games
Being a computer addict is very bad. Why?
1) you will not be able to finish most of your homework.
2) you cannot concentrate on your work
3) you will find it very hard to pay attention to what the teacher is teaching as your mind will be either thinking when will be the right time to fall asleep or thinking of your computer game
Besides gaming, the other uses of the Internet are:
1) For researching
2) for blogging
3) for chatting
Thanks^^
Usually, I don't play on the computer for more than forty minutes, so I can control myself from Internet addiction. We can control ourselves from playing on the computer for a very long time. Playing on the computer for a very long time will not only hurt your eyes but you will get tired easily because the light from the computer is harmful and glaring. Besides gaming, most working adults use the Internet for work. And some students use it for researches and e-Learning. But, usually teenagers use the Internet to surf social-networking sites, e.g. Facebook; Twitter. Young children play games.
For every week,I will set a fixed amount of time to play games.For example,before I start playing,I will set the alarm clock.When it rings,I will stop playing and continue with my other activities.For example,besides playing sports,I will also play card games,read interesting story books like The Hobbit and The Legend of the Guardians.Besides gaming,the Internet can also be used to search facts,listen to music,can be used to blog and can be used to communicate with other people.The dangers of the Internet is that the things that are posted are not true,there are also cases that people cyber bully each other.Some cases are so serious that the victims need to be counseled.
Hi my name is Sindujah. Today, I am going to talk about how to control yourself from computer addiction. Other than gaming what other uses you can use the internet for. Besides using the computer for gaming, we can use that allocated time for doing
* English, Maths, Science problems.
* Dictionary
* Wikipedia
* Information sourcing
* Calculator
* School work ( Science
researching )
* Facts verification
Bad usage examples are :
* Gaming
* Face book
* Chatting
* Twitter
* Mail ( spam )
TIME LIMIT!!!
Not more than 30 min- 45 min.
After playing, we have to play outdoor games or look at green trees. Doing this will not spoil our eye vision.
THANK YOU!!!

I think we should play less to control ourselves from computer addiction. Besides gaming, we could get information from the internet , and google things and pictures. We can use the internet also for blogging,social networking and etc.
Other than Gaming, I can surf the net, watch videos, e-learning , create projects ,chat with friends , make more friends and much more! The internet can be very useful at most of the times. Without the internet , I can’t do a lot of stuff. I can’t live without you.
We should restrict ourselves by playing for a certain amount of time. Besides gaming, we can do school homework and surf the net. We can expand our vocabulary on the internet and read up on science topics.
We can ask our parents to set a password to the computer such that we do not have access to the computer. We could also do something else like reading, studying or have a walk in the park.
Besides using the internet for gaming, we can also use it for
-searching information
-doing homework
-chatting with friends
I think that children should not play computer often and only keep it to the weekends to prevent addiction. Instead of playing computer games, children can also use the internet for education. For example, to do research or to do e-learning.The parents can also set a password for the computer ,delete the games they play and cancel the internet connection.
I think that we should not use the computer too often to play games as it might turn into addiction and damage to your eyesight. To prevent it, we should not play it all the time, but play it in moderation and not all the time. It also can be used in other ways like searching for information, reading e-books, buying things online, blogging, watching videos, etc.
And I think that if we got addicted to violent games, we may start to kill people too.
Internet can also be used to learn things, do educational stuff, relax yourself with music.
We must not spend too much time on the computer too.
• Turn off email notifications, subscriptions or anything else that may turn your attention to the Internet.
• Make a list of reasons why you will be happier when you use the internet less.
• Remember to take breaks to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, and take care of your hygiene.
• Try to stay off websites that are addictive. If you have problems getting off of these sites, just have someone else block these sites using your built in Content Advisor or if you are using Windows Vista, use the parental controls to control internet access and time on computer.
• If you need to look up a topic, do it as fast as you can, but don't sit down. Stand up the entire time you're browsing, and don't allow yourself to sit down.
• Regulate your sleeping pattern. A lot of people lose sleep while on the internet and mess up their sleeping pattern. It will be beneficial to you as you will become more organized and self disciplined.
• Think about the money you will save without having internet.
• If there are pages which you look at constantly for information, simply copy all the text and save it in a file, or even print it off. This will stop you from using the Internet so often, and it will stop you from drifting to another page.
• Every time you log on to different sites, set yourself a timer, and a small list of what you want to do within that time, and then try and make yourself log off when the time is up. Do this constantly, but try to reduce the amount of time you are on the page by 5 minutes each time.
• Try using the computer at the library. You won't be as tempted to look at certain websites (such as porn, etc.)and they do have a limit on how long you can stay online. Also, the library is a good place to get some good books and magazines to read, so you won't be as tempted to be on the Internet at home.
• Get your friends and family to help by reminding you when you have been on a long time.
• If you plan on quitting the Internet forever, do not think about doing anything with the internet.
• Cancel your internet connection or get rid of your computer
Besides gaming, one may blog, listen to music, chat with friends and even read.
We can play other things, go to the park, watch television, study, and read a book.
On the internet we can blog, watch videos, and read information for researches.
To not have computer addiction for us we can buy some interesting books to read or ask our parents to bring us outdoors to play. Parents can also let their children play for a while (20-30 min) as most say, ‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Children will also get stressed up no work will be done. But for me, I think that it will be more worth it spending the time to have family bonding. Parents can also take out the guest button if the children are using the computer secretly so that the children cannot play the computer. Using too much of the computer will make you lose your good eye sight .We use the computer to go to YouTube or do some school research.
Video watching is an option
I take control of myself by not looking or thinking about it , so I do not get addicted to it. homework
-Search
-facebook
I think that besides gaming, we also can use the internet for studies. We can also chat with our friend’s online .However, after some studies we can also go to the internet and play some games or go to YouTube to watch some videos. Also, if our close friends or parents are in another country, we can use Skype to contact them or send them emails. If we play too much computer games our eyesight will increase.
We should restrict ourselves from playing computer and make useful blogs, listen to soft music, watch videos that will teach you or search information for your project.
I can restrict myself to use the computer for only a certain time limit ( e.g. half an hour ). I can also delete my SNS accounts so that I will not have the urge to go there to chat or talk with my friends every single day. Besides gaming, we can go on Twitter, Facebook or Myspace as well as YouTube. We can also research for our essays on the internet. We can also access our e-mail accounts on the internet.
I think we might set a schedule, complete all your work like homework, projects.Then we can play with all our hearts. But, we should still control ourselves from playing too much. We can exercise more.
I think we should play less games to control ourselves from addiction. Also, we should spend less time on the computer to control ourselves.besides gaming, internet is an useful source to us. It is also a main source of information.
Other than gaming, the Internet can provide you with information of various subjects for projects. We can also access the school website for school blogs. We can use the Internet to access the school website to also learn more on the latest topics being taught.
Besides gaming on the Internet, we can use the Internet for education purposes. Gaming does not always need to be a bad thing, puzzles,for example, help your brain to think.We can also socialize with friends. We can chat with friends, go to the park for a walk, exercise, complete our homework, or even have a light snack, instead of using the Internet for a long period of time.
I think we should play less so that we do not get addicted and our eyesight does not worsen. We should also have limited access to computers by our parents when they put a password on the computer, this way we cannot play whenever we like, and our parents control our access to the computer.

There are many other uses of the internet except for playing games.We can use the internet for finding resources, watching videos and social media weblogs.Internet could be a dangerous place, we should not post anything private to the internet.
I think that we should give ourselves a time limit, for example, around 15-30 min would be just enough time for us to play. Other than using the internet for gaming, we can also do online homework, chat with friends and even play educational games. In my opinion, we cannot do a lot of things without the internet.
We should manage our time well using the computer to prevent addiction.
Besides gaming, the internet can help us get some helpful information for our homework. We could also communicate in the internet by Facebook or Twitter
I think that we should only play computer games for forty minutes at a time. Besides playing computer games, we can also surf the internet for information related to our various school subjects. We can also listen to music online.
I think we can control our addiction by making a schedule, and only in the weekends. We can also chat through mail. We can also make videos, make projects and blogs and many other things.

Parents can set an unknown password on the computer so that we cannot have access to the computer secretly and not get addicted to games.When we want to use the computer, we would have to ask for permission first.Other than that, we can read books, exercise, etc.This way, we will not be addicted to games on the computer.
we should control ourselves from playing games for too long so that we will not get addicted.we can use the internet for information,chatting with friends.
I think we should play less to prevent ourselves from being addicted. Our parents should also limit our access to the computers by putting a password for the computer. This way we cannot use the computer whenever we want.
By:Shaun Goh 6Graciousness
To prevent myself from computer addiction, I would delete Social Networking accounts like Facebook and Twitter. Besides gaming, we can use the internet for researching, socializing with people and so on.
We can control ourselves to not get addicted by computer game by playing it for limited time only.This will allow the kids to not get addicted.If this does not work,we can play outdoor games not indoor games.
Other uses of internet are;
blogging,listening to music, chatting online etc.
When I want to use to play games online , I will ask my parents first.they will set a time limit for me. If they do not set for me ,I can play games for the whole day.
Other than playing games online,we can also use the internet to do homework,watch educational videos,chat with our friends and even many more.
we cannot live or do bountiful things without the internet.
I think we should have a time limit or have certain days that we can access the computer.we could also use the internet for educational purposes.
There are many ways to take control of ourselves from computer addiction like, we could plan a timetable with only half an hour to play computer and the rest of the time is dedicated to studying or taking breaks in between. Many people do get like to play the computer but it is just that most of them know when it is time to play and when to stop, while others may not. I understand playing the computer is fun as I myself do play the computer but we have to get our priorities right.
There are endless possibilities of the things you can do on the internet. Some examples are, watching videos on Youtube, searching the web for information, looking at pictures on the internet,etc. That is why I agree that using the computer is fun but then again do not play the computer too often that you get addicted to it.
I will give myself a time limit to use the computer. For example, I will only use it for half an hour instead of my usual 2 hours. In this way, I will be able to control my usage of the computer and I will not get addicted to it.
We can use the internet to check our e-mails. We can also use it to excess Social Networking Services like MySpace, Twitter or Facebook. We can also research for our school projects online.
I would set a password on the computer and restrict ourselves from using the computer once a month.I will also ask my parents to help out if I cannot stand it anymore and want to play the computer to stop me.Plus I will set a limit time of playing games on the computer.Besides gaming ,we also can use the computer for homework ,searching infomation ,and doing much more useful things to aid in our studies rather than gaming.-Felicia Tay 6A
I usually restrict myself from playing computer for more than an hour because if I don't, I might play the whole day without realizing it. I can set an alarm, so when one hour is over, I just stop playing. i have to make this a habit so that I won't get addicted. I can also delete Facebook or Twitter accounts, so that I don't have to check it every single minute. There are many other uses of Internet, some of them which I frequently use are watching videos, researching, listening to music and chatting with friends.
i think if you get addicted to the computer and your parents will take it away and you will get soooo angry and you will destroy everything (like me)i think the only way to stop it is to play with your i pad and your phone and not your computer soo you may get addict to the computer but addict to the phone and i pad
I will select a limited amount of time about 1 hour to 30 minutes so that I will not spend so much time , gaming. I will also try not to spend a lot of time on playing computer games by reading, playing card or board games if you have and other more. The computer screen will affect your eye sight too.
Besides gaming, I would usually listen to music, watch video, research for things I am interested in or information, chat with my friends or e-mail them and go to Facebook.
I think the parents should put a password on computers, so that their children can only play if the parents allow. The parents can also set an alarm clock so that their children know when shall stop using the computer. Besides gaming, we can also serach information, communicate with others, listen the music and watch the video on the internet, etc.
To avoid computer addiction, I could do real sports, play toys or board games, watch television programmes or engage in hobbies like cooking, gardening, art and craft, pottery or calligraphy.
Besides gaming, the uses of the Internet are learning, blogging, chatting, searching for information, generating ideas, sending messages, give our comments, share stories/images, online shopping and make friends.
Dear Clint,
Do you personally practise what you have mentioned?
Mrs Ong
Dear Xing Yi,
Yes, using computer to type does help to save paper. However, it does not help in lowering one's electricity bills, right? Haha..

Mrs Ong
Dear Jolene,
Yes, you are right. We must learn to set our priorities right.
Mrs Ong
I will time myself or my mum will tell me to stop playing. Actually I do not play the computer I think it is not fun at all . But I will go and research stuff that I do not know and I will go to YouTube to learn things like science.

Whenever I play the computer, I will check the time repeatedly. But whenever I lose track of time, I will feel guilty and tell myself to not do it again. When we are using the Internet we are not only wasting our time, but our eyesight may be worsening too. By not surfing the Internet too regularly, we are not only saving our precious time, but we are also saving money by not getting new spectacles. There are many other ways we can surf the net when we feel bored. E.g. Going to AsknLearn to do the exercises they give, rather than going to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to chat. So, to conclude, we are wasting our time by surfing the net and time is very precious!
Some of the few ways I use to take control of myself from computer addiction are 1.Playing outdoors with my friends. 2. Reading a book. 3. Playing games at home. Other uses can be for chatting with friends, e-learning, searching for facts, listening to music, using Facebook and watching videos on YouTube.
I usually play computer a lot of times like 4-6h a day but sometimes I will restrain my self from playing computer games.My parents lock the computer with a password so I cannot go in but sometimes I can get in
The two ways I help myself restrain from the urge of the computer are very simple I will show you below here:
1)Think about other things you can do,not only computer games. examples are like taking a walk witch I do not do much and riding a bicycle or other things around a park or somewhere else.
2)Think about the disadvantages a computer will give you.Do you want it to happen to you? Think about it.
Those are the two reasons that I use to control my computer habits, although I do not really try hard enough to restrain myself as I get bored very easily and it causes me to play computer.
Some other uses of the internet besides gaming are mostly surfing the web for a lot facts or things that you like.But remember there are more, you can also use it to do some blogging like what I am doing right now, you can also use it to do your typing or do school projects in "Microsoft". For me personally I like to watch videos on "Youtube" next to playing computer games.
That is the end of it so I hope somebody reads it and finds it interesting.BYE!
Based on the article, I have many measures that I take many measures that I take to control myself from computer addiction.
When I play computer games, I always keep watch of my time or else my eyes will become very tired and my mom says that I look like a zombie.
I limit myself only play computer games once or twice a week each session-30 minutes each.
I also engage in outdoor activities like for example- swimming to prevent myself from being trapped in the virtual world like in the article.
I also love to read books during my free time- at home to replace computer gaming, and I sometimes even learn new words.
They are learning , essential information ,maps, websites that show daily news happening worldwide. In general they are more useful than computer gaming.
I am usually busy doing homework or playing with my neighbours so it is really easy for me to control myself.I usually time myself so that I would have more time to play with my friends.I find that playing with friends is actually more fun than the computer.Besides gaming,the internet is also used for:
1]email
2]e-learning
3]social networking
4]connecting with other countries
5]researching
6]projects
7]definitions
and many more!
I think we should control the time spent on the computer. Besides using the computer as a gaming machine , we can use it to do researchers or projects.
I limit myself to thirty minutes and take a short five minutes break before using the computer again. If you want to play your computer for two hours, take a break to relax your eyes after seeing the bright screen for half an hour, you can continue playing later. You can also surf the internet to find answers that you are unsure about.
For me, I do not use the computer from Mondays to Fridays unless I need to do homework. On Saturdays and school holidays, I would use the computer to watch some shows, about 1 and a half hour which I will continue if I have time.(Well 1 episode is 1 and a half hours… and don’t worry, I do take a break.) So, as to keep myself from being addicted to the videos I would constantly remind myself to rest my eyes, as I do not want to get shortsighted. If I use the computer for a long time I would also go and study my English and Math as in P5 the level of difficulty rose quite more compared when the level of difficulty rose from P3 to P4. Other uses include…
1) Using it to communicate with your long lost friend, your grandparents who lives far away and etc.
2) Check the meaning of the word online. (Dictionary)
3) To do research for homework.
4) To do online shopping. (Most famously is Qoo10 or Gmarket.)
5) To use it for work, let’s say, writing a document or searching for some business partners.
I think that parents should set a time limit of 30-45 minutes on the computer almost every day so the chances of myopia would be little.Parents should also set passwords on their computers so that their kid(s) can only use the computer when they are around.My parents only let me use the computer when I have bathed,ate my dinner and done my homework,I think it is also a good way to cut down the amount of time spent on the computer(if you don't have time to use the computer after doing those things, too bad, you cannot use the computer),they should set a time when the computer cannot be used anymore for gaming purposes e.g. no using of computer after 9 p.m.
Computer addiction can be devastating to a person's life. Relationships can be destroyed, grades can slip, and careers can be lost all due to computer addiction. Computer addiction is striking all kinds of people, adhering to no boundaries of age, race, gender, or income. Computer addicts spend an excessive amount of time on the computer. Some computer addicts spend their time playing video games while others will gamble, chat online, surf the internet, or frequent social networking sites and forums. These activities are generally unobtrusive in moderation, but a computer addict will perform these activities for hours a day, neglecting all or most responsibilities. As with any other type of addiction, prevention of computer addiction is the best medicine.
Instructions
How to Prevent Computer Addiction
1
Place reasonable limits on computer usage. Nearly all activities are healthy in moderation. Decide what a reasonable time based upon your daily schedule. In the case of children, an hour on school days and two hours on weekends are reasonable limits.
2
Adhere to your imposed computer usage limits. Computer addiction starts by pushing the proverbial envelope and spending longer than originally intended on the computer. Soon enough, a few extra minutes on the computer transforms to a few extra hours.
3
Consider why you are using the computer if your usage becomes excessive. Boredom, anxiety, and depression are common reasons to overuse the computer. Work through these emotions if this is true in your case.
4
Seek assistance as soon as you realize that you are unable to properly control your computer usage. Early intervention can prevent a serious addiction from developing.
There Is lots of ways to prevent us from getting addicted to them computer like doing sports and activities.They might be doing your hobby,reading,playing badminton with a friend,talking to a friend,strolling in the park,etc.We can also set an alarm to remind ourselves to rest by looking at far away trees or stop playing,there are still ways like asking somebody to remind you of the time.It is the best to limit ourselves from playing the computer from thirty minutes to an hour.The computer is for us to do research,find information,do homework,etc.We should not use the computer for too long as it is bad for our eye sight,we might have myopia,etc.The Internet is also very dangerous as we might be one of the victims in cyber bullying,so do not make too play too long of computer.
You could like read a book or you could plan a timetable. Many people knows when to start playing computer games but do not know when to stop.You should give yourself like 1 hour to play, after 1 hour, you have to stop.
You could watch videos, research something or look for pictures that u need in the internet.Using the computer can do lots of useful things. Gaming forever can control your life.

Jia Wei,
I think you got the wrong article! It is about computer addiction and not drugs. Post another comment ?
Ms Tan
Athena,
Computer is just a tool , it is up to us how we want to make use of it to our advantage. You are right about using it for your studies!
Ms Tan
I could exercise to take my mind off playing the computer.I could also try to avoid using the computer.
We can use the internet for research,to chat with our friends or to communicate with our relatives who are in another country.We can also learn through the internet or even do the assignments that our teacher gave us.Even though the internet has some bad sides like games that are too violent,it has many good things that helps us in our daily lives,it all depends on the person who uses it.
I think playing computer games is normal but we must finish our homework first.I will share three things you can do in the computer:
1: We can use it for this blog
2: We can use it for studies
3: We can listen to music while doing our homework
To controlcomputer addiction is 1:Go outdoors and play eg.basketball,football or tennis.
2:you could do your homework.
3:play board games eg. monopoly or chess.
the other things you could use the computer is 1:play educational games like asknlearn.
2:you could go reasearching on something ang gain information.

To prevent computer addition,
You can,
.Wirte down your timetable
.Play outdoor daily than playing indoor
.Take rest by looking at the green nature for half an hour
To control myself from computer addiction, I will set a time limit for myself. After about thirty to forty minutes, I will take a rest and go outside to take a walk or do some homework. I can also put my homework while gaming online so that I can always remind myself that I have homework to do and I would not need to waste time looking for my homework or getting distracted by other things. Besides gaming, I can also use the Internet to search for information for projects and do online homework on Asknlearn. I can also communicate with my friends through Email and Facebook.
Other than playing games we can also do other things like watch videos , do e-learning like asknlearn , chat with friends and also explore more about the internet , listen to music , and futher more.
I think that the parents should have a time limit for their child to play the computer e.g 20 minutes.Beside gaming,i can go to the internet to read the news or go to asknlearn to learn more about my subjects:Maths,English,Science or Mother-Tongue.
Royce,6Adaptability When we use the computer,Parents Should setup a password for the computer that his/her child is using so that the Child can manage his/her own time and also not play the computer for the whole day,We ourselves should also setup a timetable for ourselves as we would know when to stop and not keep playing the computer,So we can Focus on our studies.Besides Gaming,We can Chat with friends,Email Friends and also do E-learning to extend out Learning.
There are many ways for us to control ourselves from computer addiction. Instead of facing the screen of your laptop all day, why not do some outdoor activities and relaxing activities? For example, reading, sleeping, playing badminton, singing , listening to music and many other interesting activities under the hot sun. I usually use the computer for project researches, look for the meaning of some words, check out the weather forcast, etc... The internet is also for us to know what is happening around us and let us express our feelings when we are in a bad mood on the blog. Speaking about it, sorry Mrs Ong but I won't be able to share with you my blog as I would like to keep it private, Infact, no one knows my blog website!
However, for me, I never like playing computer games. I believe that computer games are just a waste of my time and I would rather read a book than waste my time playing computer games. Everyone had misused the internet. The internet is not for playing games. If any of you remembered the tragic incident that happened a week ago involving 2 boys, let me tell you one example of how people misused the internet.
Some rude internet users actually posted gruesome photos of the two boys after the incident. I really feel like giving them a scolding. Did they even think of how the parents would have felt upon seeing the gruesome photos? What if the two boys were your son? How would you have felt? If any of you sees those gruesome photos, please comment on the post and ask the person to remove it. Thank you :D
I will stop playing computer when my mother ask me to stop. Besides gaming we can watch videos,liten to music and go google.
I think people get addicted to computer because they can't live without to much fun in their lives I think parents should always keep an eye on their children surfing in the Internet and in the article what the parents were doing is right giving a time limit to their children for using the computer .
There are many ways to prevent ourself from being a computer addict.We can plan a timetable for ourself writing how much time should we spent on playing computer.Another way is we can ask our parents to set password on our computers so without our parents permission we cannot use the computers,by doing this our parents can control how long we play.Besides gaming we can also use the computer to watch videos that will help us in our studies or we can do research on the internet for things that we don't know
computer is for research about lots about things it can help you learn more
The computer should not be taken for granted. Computer addiction is caused by uncontrolled computer usage by a child.
To me I think the best way to control computer addiction is to prevent it from happening in the first place. Prevention is better than cure.However, if one is already a computer addict,simple activities like hanging out with friends or going to the movies can ease the urge to use the computer, maybe even cure one's computer addiction completely.
Computer addiction is mostly due to online gaming. What computer addicts think is that the computer can only be used for online gaming, when the truth is that the Internet also can be used for learning and homework help. Due to the misusing of computers, computer addicts forgot that the computer has many different uses and forgot, that online gaming is only a form of entertainment.
Other than gaming,I use the computer for g.mail,online shopping,learning,research and entertainment.I also use the computer to skype my parents when they were travelling.
Eugene,
Indeed, computer is more than just games!
Ms Tan
Douglas,
Do your parents set a time limit for you too?
Ms Tan
For me,I usually do not play computer games more than fifteen minutes.I always use computer to translate some words that I cannot understand,searching some question of my homework.When Saturday and Sunday I will use computer to watch English movie.
Afiqah,
We need to explore the use of internet to our advantage and not to allow it to harm us!
Ms Tan
Chloe,
I am very happy to have you in my class and know you are putting lots of effort to master the English language. Stay positive and make good use of ICT to help you in your studies.
Ms Tan
Dear Louis,
Yes, I agree with you that we should learn to manage our time properly and there's a limit to everything we do.
Ms Chitra
Dear Dira,
You're right. A 10 minute break is what we need in the midst of intense work.
Ms Chitra
Dear Nadiah,
I'm glad that you enjoy board games and having 'chit chat' sessions with your parents. That's nice.
Ms Chitra
Dear Catherine,
Looks like you truely enjoy surfing the internet. But involve yourself in other activities too sucb as reading a book or playing sports.
Ms Chitra
To stay away from compter addiction I will stay away from that game or delete it and tell myself that it is bad if I get addictated because I might end up in glasses.
i think playing computer more than 2 hours is a bad thing.
it is bad for your eyes and if you play it everyday you will need to wear specticles and then if you still continue plaaying video games you can also be blind and you can never see again.sometimes in some games there will be some advertistments and if you click the advertisment you might get cyber bullied.
I think that computer are not a tool to play with, it is to help us more about learning than playing games.it helps us to learnmore about english,science and lots more.
Other than the method mentioned in the article, you could engage in more outdoor activities and set a time limit every day for playing the computer. You could also do homework or sleep to keep you occupied and not bored.
There are many uses of the internet, both good and bad. The benefits are that if you want to know about something fast, you can search the internet for it. If it is a picture you need, the internet may have it but if there is no such thing as internet, you may have to look everywhere for it. The disadvantages of the internet other than getting addicted to online games are you might get myopia; people might post disgusting photos or videos in the internet and post illegal information.
As you know the younger generations tend to use the computer to play game for countless of hours.In my opinion i think they do not know ways to overcome their addiction.So,the way to control their addiction is. They should play for thirty minutes only then rest their eyes for fifteen minutes or longer.During their "break"time instead of watching the television or lazing around.They should do something useful like do their homework,read a book or just do outdoors activities.
For Windows users,like me,there is a Windows Parental Controls.In it,there is an option for passwords,time restrictions and other useful restricting factors.As for other PC's,parents or yourself could supress the thought of using the computer.(Not recommended)
Ways to control addiction of the Internet,
1)Spending time with your boyfriend,girlfriend,etc.
2)Spend more time outdoors,in the garden,etc.
Playing computer more than 2hours will have bad habits.U will not focuse on study.And will be rude.
We could try setting a timetable so that we can keep a limit form playing too much game or we can also set a timer.We can use our computer for research purposes and we can also learn about the history we don't have to necessary play games on the computer so now you see you don't have to always play games on computer you can do much more things other then playing games
instead of gaming, we could do some research, email or just go outdoors to play instead of playing your computer indoors for hours.
I don't really use the computer. If I need to use the computer to research or do go to asknlearn, I will either time myself or ask my parents to ask me to rest my eyes after 30 minutes. Spending too much time staring at the computer is harmful to our eyes. We should spend more time outdoors, resting our eyes to prevent myopia. I normally spend more time:
1. Reading
2. Drawing
3. Playing outdoors
4. Playing the piano
We can use the internet to have Facebook, Twitter, research and to comment on the internet etc. It is alright to use the computer but we must limit our time. To me gaming is not fun at all. I advise all us to take care of our eyes and limit the time spent using the computer.
We should not misuse the computer by playing computer games.Our parents give us the freedom to use the net to do homework not to do play game.actually,insead of play games we can go out and play.besides we must make a timetable to keep ourselves from play games.
i tried to study and try not to go near the computer.Beside gaming,we can use the internet by searching information,working or homework

Try to see from my point of view , i was never a computer addicted to the computer . I just use the computer for work , for those who are primary 6 its time to wake up ......
Kainoa,
Time management is very important when using the computer. You can easily get carried away, especially when you are doing something that you like.

Felicia (6A),
That is a very wise move! Setting passwords and limiting the time through the settings in the computer are good ways to prevent yourself from addiction.
Mdm Rozana
Victoria (6A),
That's very good, Victoria.
However, nowadays, ipads and iphones serve the same function as computers. Do you play with them instead?
Mdm Rozana
Jazreel (6A),
You are absolutely right! Time flies when you are enjoying yourself, especially when playing games online.

Austin,

Royce,
Yes, I agree with you. Parents play an important role in controlling the use of computers. Apart from setting passwords, they can also block the access to certain websites, especially those on gaming.
Mdm Rozana
Charlotte,
That's very good. But what if Mum's not home? Do you play till she comes back? =)
