A Word About Web Surfing. Ways To Dramatically Reduce Overuse! 


Get 80% More Value For 80% Less! FOR BUSINESS ELVES AND SANTA! I want to say here, I sympathize with you about reading sites like mine. Thanks for your interest in my science and other contributions, and you may want to read this site if you like and often other sites by text-to-speech TTS because if like most you're spending 11 hours on the screen everyday. This is harming your eyes so TTS may be really valuable. WebMD says myopia is dramatically on the rise and I believe this is about the internet.  The underlying problem about web overuse seems to be about how the computers are kind of random due to (at any rate) leftover habits from the slow modems and days of BC before cyber old. This type of behavior is related to randomness as researchers found with gambling overuse. (By the way if you're considering gambling online I strongly council you against it because 2/3 of video gamblers are addicted.)  I don't want any of my readers on the web to damage their brain or eyes just by reading my site or other sites either. This TTS method should greatly reduce the randomness so you know what you're getting more definitely.   If you have web overuse issues I recommend using a timer padlock you can buy on Amazon for 20 or 30 and time out your router or modem in a duffel with the zip locked. (I put the wire of the padlock through the holes in both zippers that moved to match up.)  To dramatically reduce the eye and brain strain I take my timer box and just am online 4 hours in 2 days a week just like in days of old and time it out. But instead of having no lines to listen with like this amazing sight, right!   What you can do after you load the TTS from the Google site at no cost so you can also rapidly download print sites like this is simply by hitting select all and copy you may then paste it into your TTS and finally read aloud offline after you timed out your cell phone as I'll show you how I've learned. 


 Ways Computers And Smartphones Harm Behavioral Health...


  If you type in a search like "ways computers harm behavioral health" you see that overuse has been found to cause loss of gray matter and has been shown to cause something rather like autism.  And also problems like AHDD and OCD and just using a word processing program with cut and paste damages your sequential memory.    Too much online use damages your spatial memory and your ability to understand your own language and also truck drivers and other drivers are getting hooked on GPS and this is making it so that they can't do without GPS. It also damages your brain's pleasure reward system. And you get speeded up at high speed by the web.. and this makes it so you miss subtle nonverbal events when you're talking to someone at the usual speed where they can't slow down as much and so on and so forth.   .  It damages your creativity and so I use mine just a few hours per week online. WebMD says myopia is dramatically on the rise (at first in the BC age of before computers they would always say that there was no evidence that the web was harmful to vision) and web overuse after 2 hours is harmful to you not 11 hours like most. 2 hours of use is good for you. My timer time out method may be especially good for teens because a lot of teens are severely addicted.. this may be a way to save your teen from ruin.. 


 POSSIBLE WAYS TO HEAL YOUR EYES  I want to show a possible way to improve dry eye dramatically..  The bad news: your dry eye is considered to be permanent by opthamologists  But...the Good News is you can control it for 3 months at a time by using Chitin.. Chitin is the food additive that has dramatic value for dry eye but it also is only for short-term use and if you only need it once every 3 months then this is no doubt viable possibly I imagine.  (Remember that this is not medical advice even so and you use this and all methods on my site at your own risk.) I had both dry eye and conjunctivitis. (And while it worked for me and this may not work for you and is only my own experience..) Some have recommended withiana, also known as indian ginseng which is considered to be a smoother ginseng not edgy as it causes relaxation and this is good for conjunctivitis as far as I have gone. While using herbs like this in your eye are considered to be low dose there may be side effects.  For example Chitin may absorb out prescriptions and fat soluble vitamins like A D and K. One other use of Chitin you might want to know about is that it's an industrial strength degreaser and some have used it for weight loss and for things like lowering fat in the circulation for cardio health. Check out the safety of any herb or method you use before using it to make sure that it's right for you, you must decide by diligence often the best in life. Returning to overuse or well, right no way! This with the duffel and padlock is a good defense strategy that I recommend to time out your websites after you cut and paste the sites you like and then read them offline for much more satisfaction about how you generally feel about your machine. Research has shown that you don't remember what you read on the web that well like reading the old ways but this way you can read by the type as well as with your audio.  If I forget and read the words awhile my eyes get tired and I go back to the TTS..Good to always keep it close. While I'm listening to the words I also recommend doing eye exercises for a complete recovery from the otherwise woe of the web. Blinking actually squeezes out tears and improves your dry eye while making your eyes also stronger.. If you're having a conversation and you start typing in the cell phone you have just thrown a wet blanket over the whole event.. Who needs this when you can defend yourself socially and have plenty of good things to talk about you find on the web!  There are 10 times more neurons in your brain for listening than for sight. This is good both for use and overuse and you can use it to find comedy, science, trivia and much more!    You always have more to talk about instead of just being made dumber by looking at your cell phone as has been found in studies.   I feel I should put this here as a general service because more than 50% now have overuse issues with the web and this is a way to read and write without damaging your eyes or brain with the "real valuable real save" not just act as save as if!  ...Speech to Text has improved a lot and I also recommend the same TTS and STT app I'm using if you're like me you're on social media and you want to reduce the stress of all that typing and looking. The app I'm using now is the Voice Notebook app.   As I say on my other site about conversational distractions in Wordpress on search engines like Bing and Yahoo the app has a useful feature that makes it so it can even filter out your conversations with a word block list that allows you to filter the bad words if you also use the methods I use of jamming the sound with special ear stops I use reduce sound better than r36 so the boss when he's yelling at you you're saying AHHH! 


 

I tried this about the timer lock and I can tell you it's dramatically better for both your brain and eye comfort and health presumably and so I'm thinking I found something really good because you can read for pleasure..Readers Digest writes people aren't reading for pleasure as much anymore for example. Other web overuse sites say that you have to limit using your machine for entertainment. But this makes it so that you can use it like for an app I use called the VRadio that allows you to record thousands of internet radio stations online at the same time you use your search list.


 Recommended; number each search item on your offline list that you create with Speech To Text you want to use... this makes it so you can find where you are and you'll know when you're finished instead of going on and like it would seem indefinite.


You can also search rapidly for where you are in the list by the number for the Voice Notebook app..


  I find a site I like called VPR Replay has this cool music loop track 3 hours a week you just record for lots of folk and world music. And you've got plenty of songs to listen to even while not even doing any extra computing while occupied with the few hours online and it puts all kinds of things like this in reach that wouldn't have been 8n reach by just like typing in 11 hours a day and getting dumber and dumber. When I would use my computer before I would feel it was bad just to listen to a track of songs that took 20 clicks just to get one song on the darn list as if they were sort of like tainted. So it really seems like it's more healthy to have a loop like this of easy to reach songs so you don't have to search and click each one and get sort of tangled up with it. It makes it so you can use your apps better by not being so strained to search for how to improve them like in the tutorials it and it makes it so you can shop in much comfort online. I do this by using bookmark labels while I'm online as a map to sum up the results of my searches to control the entire pages without having to go through the whole page including in the bookmark. I add my own memos and comedy what, right! This is another way to improve my time online what there is of it... All these are ways to essentially improve or app-prove! efficiency which evolution tells us is what love is about not gene selfishness. When I'm with my family we have an unselfish selfie when I hug the sisters on the side.  Studies show Americans' top fear is of being hacked and if you're online only 3 hours a week I presume this might help you defend a lot better although of course you may also want to do any banking offline by going directly to the bank like me so I let the bank take care of the best of the security or the worst you might say. I'm not sure but just being online 3 hours a week might help you against hackers also.  


Why not use timer apps only?


Years ago I was with a slow modem and I decided to try the timer apps and it seemed to be a really bad experience because it was random in it's interruption. As I say like with gambling the cause of overuse behavior is closely related to randomness..


 So by my early method I thought of timing out as being no better or maybe a lot worse than "without" "with the app".


 One thing I didn't notice because I didn't continue with it because of this was that you can also time it out like for days at a time which works instead of just timing it in and out five times where you surf like an hour which is "a small annoying antihero" for some even "while not a noid of zero". We could say the web has real use it's just not as amazing yet as you will be! You know this I know this and so does the boss.


 My use of timer boxes and timer padlocks is essentially this method.


But there is one thing this has that timer apps don't have and that is it can put out the fire completely when you want to put it out.


When you control your router with a timer padlock that locks the duffel you put it in, you stopped all your phones at once for however long you want.


Even better it's still allows you to use your phones offline with great apps that aren't so habit forming.


 The problem with a timer app itself is that it's too complex if you have several phones.


If you only have one or two phones the timer app might be all right.


For me it any rate I don't have two phones, I have more.


 So I would recommend the timer apps if you're in the minority and only have a few phones.


 You might at any rate want to use the timer box to get over the habit of overuse because as I say it completely puts out the fire. When you're still habit formed Even a small fire where you make a mistake is going to burn out of control.


It's not that mysterious to know when you're finally mostly over the habit, and that is when it's over causing you stress or harming your relationships in any way, and it's where you don't have this emotional tendancy to overuse anymore. It's  not so mysterious and believe me it's completely viable to achieve if you start using these methods right away. In the old days while lots of us knew it was a problem after some years of use, the technology of Text To Speech and Speech To Text or timer padlocks wasn't yet viable.


 These days it's not set up against some of us who actually have to think..




 It's took me about 4 years to get over my overuse habit by "the above definition" so you here want to either cell your other sell phones!...


...Or do as I'm doing and use the timer box combined with the timer apps.


 I think of this like the general area of timing out the router to stop the more habit forming internet and then finishing with the timer app for a more 0 in event.


 An app I've never had any problems with for timing out and that works really well is the App Block timer app.


Sometimes harmful apps make it through Google's spam filter but this one I've never had any problem with and it works real well.


I think of it like riding on a wave and you build up your optimism and it tells you what you want others to hear. Social media is considered to be the main extra cost that people pay for using their computer.


 Even when you're being told what you like to hear most of you are not guilty so it's mostly valuable that you learn how to use TTS and STT to achieve what you hope and dream of.


As long as you're not harmed to promote yourself you deserve these methods because they make it so that you're not harming yourself or others as you boost with your life path to the stars.



Once you reach the wave after two or three days of use of your app like on a TV show with millions of cash and prices you want to quit while you're ahead.

 So I think of it like going in loops.


I usually use music or other creative apps like offline apps  two or three days, say one for music and then I exit for like 3 days with the Web Block timer app.


 One good thing about this is you can also alternate apps while you're offline by way of the timer duffel padlocks which otherwise would strain you some way or other.


More to the point I tend to alternate apps that use visual editing for 3 days while I'm not doing the audio editing and vice versa.


 This is a sort of cross training and your brain is your biggest muscle and, right! Slather more Osteo Flex right on!


 Use of methods like these may literally make it so that you're going from a life of blindness and depression or worse in your future to where you go to a life of all the wonders of the internet to your defense and promotion, and a life of health celebration and prosperity.


There seems to be no going back to before social media or computers. You may have heard of the research where people who are poor who have internet access almost all of them are depressed, while the ones without internet access almost none of them have signs of depression. 


 Any viable way to make it so the internet doesn't make people ill may have real worth.


When you find you can easily and reliably say no to the internet with methods like these you thus may be helping yourself in profound ways, because these methods may dramatically boost your efficiency and efficiency is one of the major measures of love not selfishness as was believed before.


In truth one of the major definitions of getting dumber and dumber by the web is where you lose efficiency, and this is just what these methods tend to restore. You go from "how am I ever going to do this?" to "hey I've already used the app for 3 days, wouldn't be great to give your brain a refreshing rest?" And after the 3 days sometimes I say why not even rest more yet it's so refreshing.. and another go round of the yoga stretch of more than enough rest."


In other words if you are writing look forward to the right level of the way to stop writing and time it out or if you're listening to music also.


 With this method you're in control, not some stupid computer chip invented by someone who doesn't know you well and who only cared about profit..


 David Pogue, the Scientific American author in his column says that the source of all this computer randomness like your disappearing file is actually because the computer manufacturers reached a point as the events continued where they asked themselves if they're going to accept that knowledge is basically simple and the internet for example was just usually an index so they couldn't pretend like there was more than the knowledge there if they accepted reduced pay.


 But instead Pogue says they they pretended to offer more features in order to get the same level of money.

 

So it might seem that indeed why don't these machines work well?.. the main reason may be that even while cellphones have mostly corrected the worst of the computer manufacturers greed it also was built into those cell phones having the same code and while the market mostly corrected itself with the cell phones it's still got a some problems left over, or any rate till some of us got wise so we can now help the rest of us like you prophet from our prophecy of cyber value. The digital superwoman who is she, she's perhaps right this time and wise established and well to do..





HOW THIS ABOUT TIMERS AND TTS/STT MIGHT BE APPLIED IN THE BUSINESS ARENA


 I called up the lady on the 800 number the other day and she did a search for me at the web for a half an hour and I said thanks for searching the entire web! In my elation I told her then about this method of reducing events like for the comic who sez he just finished reading the internet like the millionth page of the worst book ever! And I'm thinking about this as Mormon poet said..Life goes on... Life goes on...When he rhymed with his wife! This method of timing out your online use like by the router works awesome for getting your information, it's no more habit forming or strain than talking and listening with a bit of reading or writing. This can convert what was more of a major pain where you're getting worse and worse off all the time to where it's a celebration.  While I would think a whole lot of employees may be suing their boss about it I would think there's not enough money to pay for this and even so the boss would want to defend for the employees by using this method. So for employers who don't want employees to get brain damage and the cost of thousands of dollars to rehire new employees and retrain them might use the following method... In this scenario, employees given the problems to solve by the customer calls or etc save up the inputs for the search offline in a list of searches that they improve before they make them and they do this with speech to text so most efficient so it's non habit forming or harmful without this darn web distractions WHAT IS THAT STUFF? Then they go online do the searches and save the results to TTS text to speech then listen to them offline with all the distractions removed that bosses or teachers these days like to help with. Then once all the solutions are in reach or best solutions they simply call back the customer and tell them what they think. And repeat the loop so this would work for the health of employees. The main greater cost here is about the timing delay between the call the customer and their results. Even so this is much better than brain damage and myopia. The rest of the overuse of the employees when they're at home could simply be solved by the same method of time out with a lock and save up the problems and then go online.. back off line read them and so on.. This use of the timers and the TTS and STT offline and on has four major levels of defense.  


 *The first level is online with the ability to read and write and listen.  


 *The second level is with the router timed out and you can read and write offline 


 *The third level is read only offline which is less interactive or habit forming  


*And finally you can just time out all the internet including the phones and the read and write both. It's been said that we have a totally artificial sense of urgency with the web and with this you can control the level of pressure and you can control just how much you use the web and you get 80% more for 80% reduction of the causes of possible behavioral or social harm it may cause!


One solution I thought of about these problems is I hope to find some low tech way to combine a physical method with the computer method.


By this we don't completely abandon books and writing.

For example writing influences your personality if you are a brilliant artist you can draw your name in the raffle, so you may win a cheap trip to the coast of Egyptarica!


 You would sort of alternate exercise in your brain with the computer with more old-fashioned methods.


Doctors are having to click about 4,000 clicks a day and if they miss one click it could cost somebody their life.


This has gotten so bad with doctors that they start sending memos through the post on actual real CDs to avoid all those cyber clunks.


 Or for example about the problem of all the web pages suddenly going down if the internet goes down, some have believed we could use microfilm to back up all the sites without the crash. 


 Once you've removed all the extra wasteful computing with the timer padlocks, you want to sort of rebuild your brain health by also using real books.


 Books also may seem to be not absolutely good. One reason they seemed old-fashioned to me compared to thr shiny glitz of the computer was because they would crash also when your paperback has a meltdown!





 As an inventor of a lot of inventions over the years I thought of a sort of book wedge that slides on the edge of the book to keep it from falling apart with a clamp.


 I tried my own DIY version of this with just using large black metal paper clips the kind with the aluminum handles but these were metal and they cut into my hand as I was reading.


HOW TO REINSTATE READING


 I found a real good way to get control here, I punch holes in my paperback books since they're now recycled paper unlike the old days of unicycle audio volumes with just both reel wheels!


  I put strong nylon line through the holes and bind my own book and voila the paperback won't have a Kindle cat collapse when your robo mop won't crunch up your coffee table or the cat anymore!


 Now that my books are bound I tie them to my cushion and I'm a captive audience when I sit down and am not sawing wood or driving pigs to market!


 Note here how the only way I could achieve reading is by my first removing that blinding light of the computer which is going to hog all your time if you don't.


 By the above method, I'm only using my computer like 4 hours a week.. so now I have a whole lot of time because it's so much more efficient, to read.


The computer may make a person better by doing what you must but reading more for pleasure will make you a better person.


 Sort of like what they say about what you do for a living or what you do for creativity. What you do for a living gives you what you have for what you do for celebration makes you what you are.


  It's been found that the area of your brain were new memories are formed are with new neurons each day and if you don't form them you start to get more and more edgy and sad. 


If creativity is reduced it's going to cause you problems sooner or later...


This is what I mean by combining a mechanical physical way of computing with the computer...The computer gets its value from work but time for your brain to rest and dream and celebrate is important, why shouldn't it have more?


People are reading less for pleasure than ever before and boredom is a warning sign.


 One beauty of this method of binding my books to my cushion and also making it so the books don't crash is that you can use books with an A to Z access method and this makes it so if you have a thought you just look it right up and you're getting smarter not dumber like with a cell phone.


 This is because it's so simple like truth. There's nothing new under the sun unlike what the computer manufacturers have pretended.


No disappearing file trick, no smoking mirrors! Right.


 A book I love to read is  "Great Thoughts and Funny Sayings" by Bob Phillips, a book of proverbs that is in A to Z order with the entries.


And it says right there in the entry under "Book" where it says in the Farmers almanac.. it says..."Do give books for Christmas. They're not fattening, seldom sinful, and permanently personal!"


Proverbs are a great way to learn about life and you can make your own conclusions but you're also learning about wisdom that's been building up for thousands of years and in concise bites.


 Since I like comedy I like to think of jokes to write in the book about the Proverbs (a latin proverb is, he has the approval of all who blends the necessary with the sweet) and then to memorize I use what I call the letter method where I read back and forth between the first letters of the words and the actual words on the page as you'll see on my How I Built My Comedy Machine link.


By this method you can break it down into steps of exercises and I assume this is quite good for brain health because unlike the dumb computer (a necessary evil perhaps or at least about the cautions it's now known they have) memorizing has been found to dramatically improve your ability to think well.


 I have my "Book of Great Thoughts and Funny Sayings" and I used orange nylon twine to bind it and then to my sofa right where I'm sitting now, and it's quite beautiful because the book is orange and off white also and not only can you write your thoughts in your books but you can also use lots of different types of books.


 When Ronald Reagan was president he was in showbiz before and they said we would have co-host presidents.


By this you can co-host your books with lines and clips to add and remove them like once a week and you can alternate your books not just classic ones, and I'm thrilled because I can use old Readers Digests I wanted to learn about and then bind them this way so they're revived from the dead or the ghost author realm. I had been writing in my books for years before the internet so like a lot of us I have a real tradition about this.




One thing I say about like losing weight, a fundamental measure of the ability to stay on a diet is about whether you can talk without being so much pain that you can't socialize well.


Anything like the computer that might reduce your ability to talk well you want to be aware of.


 And this is just what reading and memorizing may do by a physical method where you simply tie the book to the sofa.


You're reinstating your ability to talk for your conversational self defense.. if you don't promote you who will Here I hope I might promote moreso what's good in life..


 Not only can you tie books like joke books to the cushion but you can also tie other books including even  Encyclopedias which I used to love to read a lot in the days before the internet.


 My favorite encyclopedias of all are Americana Encyclopedias. Unlike the old Britannicas these are the most brilliantly written encyclopedias other than over the years where I tried brands like Colliers encyclopedia which we're supposed to be good or Funk and Wagnals (brand name commercial where!), but for general knowledge unlike Britannicas where they talk down to you with fancy words by hired professors nobody knows, Americana's offer the more bright simple views often of people like Isaac Asimov or Carl Sagan for science for example writing the articles.


Not a word is out of place in the Americanas and not too many words that don't need to be there.

All the words of value are also there they just jump in and hang on well!


 One beautiful sight is how Americanas are not too big unlike the Britts which are tough to even lift, yet not too small so there's more information in the volume!


 They're well-bound unlike a lot of books. I found that while I couldn't drill through them because the paper's too good I could actually just drill through the outside of the cover on both sides and put a line through with an optional clip and now I've got a guest host book of the month to continue my general education.


 You can use this method for anything you want to increase your knowledge of provided you've got the right book.


 Books are getting cheap and supposedly there are no encyclopedias now so I presume could get a whole set of Americanas at a good cost.


Research shows that future socio-economic success is closely related not to education or even income but rather just to the number of books that are in your house.


 Other surveys shows that your income is proportional or related closely to vocabulary.


 I'm planning on getting a book bag or box because a lot of books look bad, and then just tying with a lanyard clip that can clip on the line to those books in the bag.


 For the jokes I found methods of making my own paper computer and this is a way to make up jokes on demand (one definition of creativity is problem solving ability wish you made otherwise be losing by the computer) by using pun lists from 1 to 99 for the letters to words as unusual trained memory methods..


 This makes it so you can find your jokes also in and out of order like the Proverbs book...


 The books of A to z memos are some of the best. Even so to go where you like to read you can actually write the page and memo number (for where it is on the actual page to zero in) in the front of the book and the listing of the word it's about, by this you can just go around the book and find all you like to read about "almost" in and out of order also.


 On the link below, I'll show you how to plug in those puns into the joke and find the joke by contradiction and where the good side mostly is to make it so it's a good surprise not a bad surprise!


 To me this is the essence of comedy and my methods are based on ancient principles but with some extra improvements (often are) like the pun lists which some say is the foundation of comedy but also for trained memory and also with the contradiction and unity for things that are not directly connected to more reliably hope to create and find the contradiction and so on. Proverbs are often filled with contradiction like a joke so it's entertaining in life to make them more memorable than they are!


 Memory methods are ancient but the comedy machine is a machine and so it's more advanced I think than what I've read about elsewhere.


 Of course the comedy machine is only one book of many, but it's one of my favorites because it's hysterical to sit and read because you're solving problems like finding the good side with puns and contradictions and celebrations so you're prepared when somebody says something surprising.


I believe like music that reading can be like a more active prayer than meditation and it may cleanse your brain where it's been toxified by the web or other toxic events.


Robots given the opportunity to play are better able to solve suprise problems later.


It's been found that people who have behavioral resilience "presumably improved by reading" are worth respecting... in a study of 50 people  only three without behavioral resilience had lived when they were followed up in a few years (but what did the dead people say? I'm Elvis, no I'm rich and famous!) while almost all the ones with behavioral resilience were alive and well...


Optimists also have higher life expectancy numbers, and by being able to find the comedy or good side of the words which are flowing in a sea of potential judgment or praise around us, their powerful medicine may be a prescription for more powerful life.


 If books are going this is a bad sign I think because Carl Sagan was saying I sensitive measure of the health of civilizations is about how they treat their libraries and who wouldn't want to treat a shush marm well! 


May you find behavioral resilience and more..




While computers are here to stay, this method of reading while you rest is at least a way to reflourish and restore some of what may have been reduced otherwise.


 As I say I use letters for words like acronyms to memorize and loops so not only can I be creative as I'll show you how but you can also memorize also and so you retain more of the progress.


On the link I also will show you how to memorize the jokes you've created like for custom problem solving or customary  celebrations! 


If you like I'll also show you how to create more usual memory methods.


These are a sort of more gradual way of unifying what you have with what you hope to add on for yourself like by smaller steps.


 This may have more value like for example if you're talking to the boss and he's mad and he says, why did you say that, you've got a more serious looking reply and then soon I'm back to thep celebration! Right!


 My link is called "How I Built my Own Comedy Machine, and Saved!" 


 Here's The link For You...


How I Built My Own Comedy Machine and Saved!


Thanks for reading me.. now when you look up the joke in the book, they may cheer and laugh even with your travel volume as you go, with comedy translation celebration software!


As above here's my reducing conversational distractions link about

How to filter out conversational distractions that are costing the economy 57% of its money by using a special form of ear stops I've found that are almost are somewhat better than the the highest R36 noise attenuation level for ear stops for just a few dollars.
