Suppose you are browsing through some restricted websites in your workplace or let’s say you’re in your college dorm and someone to whom you are answerable for your behavior comes looking for you.

“I want more!!” are the three words I usually utter out loudly when I am buying a gadget online or planning a trip for the next weekend.
