Fluxus Score 04

Map your experience over the course of immersing yourself in internet distractions:

What are you thinking about right now?
Look it up on Wikipedia.
Follow an internal link to something else that interests you.
Let these routes take you several more steps.
Check your posture.
What are you reading about now?
Look it up on another website.
If you've lost interest, find something else to do. How many tabs are open in your web browser? Are you listening to music? Are you thirsty? Do your eyes hurt? Have you learned anything worth telling anyone, i.e. email or otherwise-message a friend? Is there a blog you frequent?
How much time has passed since you began? How much time do you feel has passed? Is there a small or large difference?
