Making Internet Your Best App!!!

Firstly Happy New Year Everyone!!!

New Year, New Beginnings, New Everything!!! So far so good.
New Year also brings with it New Years Resolutions!!!
I wanna lose weight, I wanna earn more , I wanna have new friends, I wanna get married, I wanna just leave that heck of a job......blah blah and some more blah!!!!
The less said about RESOLUTIONS the better!!!!
You don't need the start of a year to start these things. In fact you don't even need to start right now.
You need to start when you really want to start and believe that it is what is best for you!!!!

Okay so I know how each one of us spends just a lot of time on the internet. And if we do get a chance off it,we are surrounded by T.V and phones to waste even more time. The solution would be to limit our internet time or switch off our phones from time to time. Although these solutions are good, they are quite hard to follow. So instead of just aimlessly surfing the net or watching that new movie trailers on Youtube , why not use it to you advantage and make it productive. Make internet work for you!!!
So here is my list of the things to making internet your best app ever!!!

1. WRITE A BLOG : For the inner writer in you or for keeping a journal, a blog is a great way to monitor your thoughts. Looking back, you'll realize how you have grown as a person and sometimes be even surprised by your own insights in a post. It is also a great way to write about your view and insights on a place you visited or a new hobby you learnt. And if that's not enough, if you are good and regular at blogging you can even money by writing review for other blogs/sites or make your own blog to earn money!
2. DISCOVER NEW APPS: There are a number of different apps for phones as well as your laptop/tablet which focus on making you do tasks. These can be used for limiting your internet timing to making to-do list which focus on getting things done and reminding you every time you connect to the internet.
3. MAKE YOUTUBE YOUR TEACHER: Whatever you want to learn, be it cooking caramel popcorn to doing suryanamskar there are great videos on youtube to help you learn it. There are also lectures by top professors on various topics in academics. You can also watch motivational videos to get inspiration.
4. ONLINE LEARNING: Great time saver on travelling to a distant institute or just because you don't have enough time to go to that place regularly. Whatever the reason. online courses are flexible and as per your convenience. And you get a course completion certificate too.

There are many ways to use internet and benefit your life. But always remember nothing can replace the feeling of going out and doing something outside. Our ideas, our experiences come when we go outside, meet new people , visit new places. With the help of internet you can look at any place as if you are standing there but it cannot make you feel how you felt when you visit that place. The joy of having a good and wholehearted conversation with your friends at that place you always visit is unmatched.

Sure internet is great when you simply have no other way but to have to use it. But it should be your last resort. 

This New Year instead of looking through the net looking at people share their experience on the net I would make my own. And if I fall short of it I would try to keep myself busy in improving myself in whatever way I can.  

Here to the New Year! I hope 2014 is kinder to me than 2013(which totally sucked!)
