This switch in a pencil holder is a simple way to disconnect any on-line activity from your computer. Equal to unplugging the computer from its on-line source, this invention is located on your desk top secondly as a pencil holder. The device requires no battery or A/C power source. With your on-line source as a DSL cable or telephone line, you simply plug the incoming line into the applicable “IN” port located on the back of the pencil holder. From the applicable “OUT” port of the pencil holder, simply plug-in another phone line or DSL cable. That line will lead to the applicable plug-in on the computer. Now the device is hooked up to the on-line source. Again, no power source is needed. On the front of the pencil holder at the bottom, is the side to side toggle switch that on a split second can disconnect you from on-line for any reason. Pop-ups, smut, viruses, and hackers would be reason for using the switch for quick shut down of on-line activity. The even more important use for this switch is when you are not on-line. When the on-line source is not in use, the switch can remain in the “OFF” position, completely securing ones computer from any outside activity. There are no data blockers, no locks, no lights, or anything requiring any power source. This invention completely works on an in-line switch format located at your finger tips by your pens and pencils.
A simple in-line switch located at the front and bottom of a square pencil holder applicable to phone line and cable connections, located on the back and bottom of the pencil holder, will in the “OFF” position (for off-line), completely secure a computer from outside or on-line activity with no power source needed.
