All of the sites that you are going to stop visiting are primarily entertainment sites so I am taking a chance by saying that you do not seek useful information from those sites, and one might compare them for example to reading the funny pages or watching movies. So what you might need is a hobby to occupy the time you would normally use on the computer.
I also find this Paul Miller experiment weird. I might sound like a douche when saying this, but it is a dumb idea. This whole thing that the internet is a prison and information is beating us up is bullshit. The internet is what you make it to be, you can use it as a library or for searching dumb things. If the internet wasn't there we would be doing the same thing, albeit less effective. Might as well remove cellphones because they make us available all the time.
Switched to gmail last year, had a hotmail account since 05/06. It's filled with spam and crap I don't need, so I use it for sites or promotions that I don't care about.
