What is this all about?

First no cellphones, now no internet at school. We're moving into the past. Soon there'll be no fans, tubes and possibly no clothes (back to the leaf-around-groin days, which, some people might argue, isn't bad).
Internet, as is see it, is a lifeline. I require the internet for my existence. So I don't see why it should be banned. If people misuse the internet, we can't ban it. People drive rashly, but you can't ban cars. It's just the same thing.
Things can't be prevented by simply banning them. In fact, I don't think banning the internet at school will stop people from seeing porn. No way. There's always a neighbourhood cybercafe or a friend who's parents aren't home.
But it does affect people who were actually using it.
That's what I have to say.
Suddenly our teachers are after us for our lab files. I've sent my bio file for checking, while I'm yet to make my physics and chem lab file, which, I imagine, will take my quite some time.
And curses be upon Airtel. My GPRS is refusing to work, I haven't received my settings and I've spoken to their Customer Care Executive 3 times.
S'all for now.
Bye bye
