The unusual system was developed by Robert Morris and Dan McDuffie, who believe that millions of people around the world are wasted his life, spending too much time on social networks. Salvation for the world to see the students they developed a device called Pavlov Poke («poke from Paul»). Poke — function of Facebook, a Russian translation of a website called «wink». Ivan Pavlov — the famous Russian physiologist and Nobel Prize winner, who, among other things, the famous studies of conditioned reflexes. The device connects to your computer via USB, and then placed under the wrist. A special application for the computer keeps track of which sites the user enters.

The application can be configured in such a way as to restrict admission to certain sites, or limited only to stay on them. Students note that Pavlov Poke they have developed for themselves, as experienced with the dependence on Facebook. The experts, in turn, do not rule out that the development of interested investors, and it will be put into production.
