Yes the technology that gives us a constant stream of information can be distracting and addictive but we should not blame the internet for that. Knowledge is increasing and the internet is what enables us to keep up with the scale. Human brain power needs these new technologies to cope with the increase demand for analysis, research and reasoning. They do not make us stupid. They are keeping our heads above the water, so we don't drown in the sheer volume of data around us.
Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray. What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list. Before... After.
