I cannot work without having access to everything. At least, that what everybody believes.
Twitter can get a bit distracting, but I manage to just take peeks if I do not have time to act, react or help. Or not use certain areas of the web.

The web is getting more and more distracting with the plethora of services available. And the sad thing is, it’s not like I waste my time doing unproductive things. While distracted, I’m either catching up with my reader (mostly subscribed to news/tech news blogs/sites) or researching something of a whimsical thought. All the while I should be typing a research paper. So it’s not like I’m supposed to be off the internet.. I’m just supposed to be working on the task at hand…
