One of the most satisfying things I've done recently

  1. This is absolutely true that due to social media communication has increased dramatically but this is also a fact that we are wasting a lot of time on internet daily unnecessarily.

    I wouldn't call it a waste of time, the internet stimulates the brain, if people waste time on internet, then taking away the internet leaves other time wasting activities for them, tv, casino, playing bingo, cards, TAB, pub, gossip, doing nothing....
    +20 years ago, when people moved to another location/shifted house, they often lost contact with their old friends unless they picked up the phone, these days we can send and share photos, have video chats, send emails and text messages, and it's instant and archivable and/or retrievable at our convenience, much easier to retain bonds these days.

    themickey this sounds interesting. I think that youtube have a $10 per month subscription service which gives you ad free access to everything. Does spotify have access to all music genres or is it like a netflix kinda deal where half the things you want to watch are unavailable?

    Found Spotify selection list is very extensive, there was a trial offered which was 99c for 3 months.
    You can also play for free but it has one advertisment about every 20 minutes which is still better than the radio.
    There was a music album I wanted to listen to, forgotten the name atm, but it was an expensive album and that couldn't to be found on Spotify. By & large found the music choice is very extensive, have uninterrupted different songs playing for hours on end.

    I agree on some parts @themickey. I won't say internet is useless. However, it's not a safe place. Let alone whatsapp for communication, why do we need many accounts. Nowadays many of us are/were bored with scrolling news feeds but we couldn't get resist from it, it's indeed a waste of time. People would have learn/fun a lot from TV rather than using FB, talking face to face in person than chatting/calling, play with family on the ground rather than dota gaming. Without internet, there would be less of depression, expectations, bullying. I would rate bad outweigh good in internet, still we need to have a good controlling-skills to deal with it. No doubt internet is important in today's time, no one can deny it but you know what I mean it's all about controlling-skills.

    When it occurred to me to Deposit a small amount on bets, I usually place bets on eSports, mostly DotA 2. Although I didn't sleep until the morning, but I tripled in a couple of hours ,) I don't encourage anyone to do this, some people just go crazy, but sometimes there is a desire to watch matches and earn extra money.

    Just ordered one of these online. 4" wide tyres
    I need to stay flat for a while in the mkt so currently twiddling thumbs with too much time on my hands looking at the walls.
    This should do the trick, plenty of bush and beach nearby where I live.
