My ideas for making the internet less addictive

Number 1: Make everything black and white. That'll be much more boring and much less exciting.
Number 2: Don't count anything. Don't tell me how many views my blog has had, how many friends I have, how many emails I have. Because I will ALWAYS want to know, want to count, want to measure. Instead have three categories: More/Same/Less. I'll still want to try to make it say "More", ...but I'm sure with my shortened attention span I'll tire of it quickly.
Number 3: Switch it off periodically. This may not work because I may just stubbornly try to reconnect for an hour or two, but I'm hoping it might actually make me rely on it less. And I mean switch off the whole interweb. What can be that important?
Number 4: Don't update anything for a year.
Number 5: Don't let me personalise anything.
Hm... sounds like a newspaper. And you can always turn THAT into a hat. So... ignore everything I just wrote.
