I need to write a paper due monday, regarding addictive eletronics such as television, but its been used as an example already so i cant use it. I need reasons why such devices are bad for you, can someone give me examples, such as why ipods or cell phones are addictive and harmful? My problem is each device i think of is 10 times more usefull than it is pointless.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Computers. They entice you into spending an excess of time in forums teaching how to game women. Make your paper about your computer and sosuave, and how your cyber DJ skills are on point, but you got LJBF'd last week by an HB 6, so you decided to post about it in the Mature Man forum under your other alias who is 39, but you were answered by a female who seemed to make sense, but then someone accused her of being a transplant spy from the LS Matrix, so then you got really confused and tried to find a related thread in the Tips forum, but with no success you asked the highschool kids what they thought, but all they could say was "nam sayin, so you decided to check in on the Fitness forum so you could get some advice on getting big so you could kick those little high school pricks a$$es. Then you made a post detailing how you were going to beat them down in the forum called Anything Else.
Anything else?
There, I wrote your paper for you.

Computers: Because you spend too much time on teh internets and on an online forum, giving you the ability to cheat and get ideas from people all around the world.
But seriously, I have no idea.
Edit: DAMN IT Mistic, you posted it before me xD

My IQ is in the high 120's. I just gave you a funny, cool idea for your paper. Even though I was JK, it would be a good topic.HandyAndy said:
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Well first of all, why not? There are a lot of cool stylistic devices used here, such as plate theory, the Pick-up artist, indication of interest, etc. Should make for something regarding the language used.HandyAndy said:
NOTE: DO NOT MENTION SOSUAVE OR GIVE AWAY INFO THAT COULD LEAD HERE.
The first rule of fight club is ....
Also, nothing becomes really harmful unless it's overused. A cell phone is cool unless you can't get off it, a computer is cool as well. You need to focus on why people use these devices excessively, in my opinion.
I used to read books for hours on end, like 5-6 hours a day, didn't really care what they were about, I just cared about reading. I abused them to not have to focus on my life.

You never mentioned the "honors" part in the OP, Mr. IO. It's no problem if you don't have the ballz to have fun with it. Do something real conservative and boring. The chicks will dig it.HandyAndy said:
Ok maybe I gave the wrong directions. It has to be a medium of some sort. A medium is plural of media if you didnt know that. Media as in the internet, a cell phone, ipods, television, computers, etc. And Mistic...this is about writing a paper this has nothing to do with girls, im just asking for some help with my homework i dont know where girls play a part in this

You're joking about that Honors class sh!t, aren't you, boy? Because it's just the other way around: Media is the plural of medium if you didn't know that (Oxford Dictionary).
Do something about how people look up funny stuff on youtube instead of studying for a test then. You could give some cool examples.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Everything has to do with girls in one way or another. BTW girls is the plural of girl. LOLHandyAndy said:

Ok, so do something about people listening to their mp3s on the way to work or wherever and so not noticing important traffic signals or other cars/people and so making accidents happen.

Dang, you beat me to it.Ingeniarius said:
As for the OP, do something on Blackberries. No, I don't mean fruit. I mean the mobile devices that allow you to access the Internet from anywhere.
My work wants me to get one, but I refuse because apparently, for people who get them, there is life before the Blackberry and life after the Blackberry. Life after the Blackberry includes excessive Internet usage and mental dependency. I have friends who have got them, and they haven't been the same since. I'm not kidding, either.
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

electricity is bad for us.
i read a study back in about 95 that stated that in rural areas, children were considered more normal than the opposed children who grow up in bigger cities with lots of electrical lines.
children who grow up near a power station, tend to be alot more add and adhd making them more abnormal.
it was a local newspaper story and so long ago that i can not remember where the column writer got their sources...
however, think about all the adhd kids these days compared to no one having it 30 years ago. apparently, the hyperactivity stems from all the electricity we have these days.
good luck on your paper!!

Andy, I think this might actually make for a good essay topic.woods said:
You can explore its effect on male-female relations, the objectifying of sex and men, etc.
You can go crazy on this one and your teacher may be impressed (because it's not boring and because it asks some interesting questions).
