eReflect’s Ultimate Typing Highlights Actions from Chinese Government Regarding Internet Addiction In New Blog Post
New York City, NY (PRWEB) February 04, 2015
A new short documentary has been promoted on the Ultimate Typing™ blog, focusing on teenage internet addiction and the Chinese government’s controversial approach to it. The documentary, titled “China’s Web Junkies,” was produced and directed by Shosh Shlam and Hilla Medalia. It gives an inside peek into how internet addicts are dealt with by the Chinese government. Back in 2008, internet addiction was classified as a clinical disorder in China, which also considered the phenomenon a primary threat to the health of millions of teenagers in the country, something the documentary highlights.
The teenagers that end up in the treatment facilities receive a mix of military and therapy drills to help them overcome their internet addiction. These teenagers receive this controversial treatment for up to four months, in hopes of overcoming their addiction, at which point they are reintroduced to society. Although eReflect recognizes that internet addiction does have an impact on the lives of millions of people around the world, the company points out that using a bootcamp-like treatment which involves extreme therapy methods is questionable, to say the least.
Internet addiction is a new and largely unstudied social phenomenon that only escalated in the last decade or so, with the proliferation of online gaming. Internet addiction is defined differently by different organizations and states, and there’s no one single viewpoint on its status, the preferred treatment, or even the desired outcome. That’s why governments and clinicians need a more systematic approach to this modern-day phenomenon, eReflect notes. As the designer of one of the best typing program products on the market, the company is of course supportive of responsible internet and computer use.
Several typing software reviews of eReflect’s program highlight that internet and computer use is such an integral part of daily life that people need above-average typing skills to be efficient at their jobs. eReflect’s learn to type software helps people improve their typing efficiency and accuracy. In fact, young people who have good keyboarding skills should be encouraged to use this ability to apply for better jobs, improve other skills, learn new languages, and in general work towards self-improvement using technology, rather than passively spending their time in online recreation. Although gaming and general internet use is one form of entertainment, it should be one that’s closely monitored by individuals to avoid the extremes leading to addiction, eReflect concludes.

Yellow Bridge Interactive Blog Contest Winner Announced
Yellow Bridge Interactive Blog Contest Winner Announced
Pittsburgh (PRWEB) December 17, 2012
From late October through early December, the Pittsburgh graphic and web design firm, Yellow Bridge Interactive, held a contest for who could write the most imaginative and insightful blog post about what direction web design would take next. The web design contest aimed to engage the local design community in a fun and friendly competition. With respect to the past rapid development of the Internet with all its improved style and functionality, Yellow Bridge was curious what users thought would happen over the next decade.
The two winners were awarded prizes for their excellent entries. Andrew Mortimer, taking first place, won a Kindle Fire HD. Sadie Stresky, taking second, was awarded a $ 100 Amazon gift card. Yellow Bridge congratulates and thanks all participants who took the time to publish and submit their thoughts on what the Internet would hold in the future.
In “A Picture of Web Design 10 Years from Now,” Andrew Mortimer predicts in his post that, as has already been trending, the Internet will continue to develop in a way that reflects the users themselves. Just as we create Internet avatars for us now, we will continue developing our online selves, and the Internet will grow to accommodate this even more. With each new generation, the Internet becomes accessible to more people as more grow up with these technologies. The increased popularization will expand the use of the Internet, and the Internet will become more available, more intuitive, and favor the user more and more.
In “Web Design and the Internet, 10 Years from Now,” Sadie Stresky envisions a future where technology has advanced to the point of total cloud integration. Today, we tend to integrate computer-related devices, such as smartphones, tablets, printers, and MP3 players. In the future, however, this scope will be far more encompassing, including household appliances like washing machines and vacuum cleaners. The appliances and devices in a home will be programmed to communicate with each other to “create a seamless user experience.”
Yellow Bridge Interactive is a web design firm in the South Hills of Pittsburgh. The company works with businesses to design and redesign websites, set up blogs, design logos, and provide SEO-friendly website consulting. YBI periodically hosts contests and polls to engage members of Pittsburgh’s growing web design community.
