*UPDATE: This is about EXCESSIVE RECREATIONAL internet. If you have a job where you use the internet a lot, or use the internet purposefully in a healthy way.. then awesome. That's fine and good. What I'm talking about in this video is those who waste tons of time online. How would your best self use the internet? And don't rationalize, be really honest with yourself. (SHOW MORE!!!!!)
The most important thing is to find a HEALTHY BALANCE FOR YOU. Technology can be amazing, it's a double edged sword. I think I demonized the internet a bit too much in this video too be honest.. The internet is an INCREDIBLE tool and has so many positives too. One can learn SOOOO much from the internet and communicate with others in amazing ways. I hope this video connects with the people who think internet addiction is an issue for them though and has all my viewers put more thought into how the internet is affecting their lives. I feel bad for being a bit white and black in this video. For example in the end I said, "the internet is f*cking you up." Just know, I was talking to myself. Always be critical of my messages, and take just what resonates with you. :)

GAMING addiction is another huge issue with lots of guys. I seriously want you guys to think of all the time you've spent using the internet and technology over the last 5 years of your life. Has that time truly fulfilled you? Do you look back and go "WTF have I been doing with my life?"
This applies to all technology. Internet, gaming, movies, TV, any media, your phone..
Really think about it. Has most of the time you’ve spent online done ANYTHING for your life at all? Think about all the time you’ve wasted over the last several years. If you even put HALF of that time into working on your goals, socializing, or more fulfilling ways to enjoy life.. imagine how much better your life could be? wow.
There is a RIGHT way to use the internet, and a WRONG way. Really be critical of yourself!!!
This video is not for all of you. Probably some of you don’t have any internet addiction at all. Perhaps for a fair amount of you it is just a small problem. But if you spend more than an hour a day online for recreational reasons... seriously take a hard look at yourself.
We're almost like these hamsters in a hamster wheel spinning in circles feeling good with all this novelty.. when really doing nothing for our lives and not fulfilling us at all, just addicted to shallow entertainment... TIME TO GET OFF OUR COMPUTERS!!!!
