The Problem With Having a Laptop for a Child
Author: ChinI guess the problem with being hooked to the Internet lifestyle is that while it’s true you can go anywhere so long as you have your laptop in tow, you really don’t. First, you spend your time worrying if the place you’re going to has Wifi. You find out it does, after a browse. Next, you worry about the connection speed. Is it fast enough? Turtle-slow? Unless you go check it out yourself, there’s just no way to know. So, you agonize over your choices (to go or not to go?) and in between decisions and near-decisions, you trawl the web endlessly for all sorts of bric-a-brac, including mesothelioma treatments and who Simon Cowell last snapped at.
That, dear friends, is the problem with having a laptop for a child. No matter how much you say you can travel anywhere just so long as it has Wifi, you’re so convinced your laptop needs you that you never do!
Hi! My name is Chin, and this is where, to quote Jane Austen, I "run mad and as often as I choose."

My dad bought me one last year and after getting used to being around with it, I got too attached
) Can’t stay far for too long anymore. Good thing my mom sold it. Now I’m back to desktops. Haha
