How Have I Used the Internet in the Past Week?

Over the past week, I have used both my phone and laptop a lot outside of school. I primarily use my phone to keep in touch with my friends over WhatsApp and SMS, as well as FaceBook to keep updated with the world. I also use it to listen to music and read the news whenever I am travelling from one place to another (e.g. going home from school).

I tend to do a lot more on my laptop - apart from communicating with my friends, updating myself on the world and listening to music, I use the Internet to watch movies and TV shows, play games (and be unproductive in general) and reading. Although it is unhealthy to spend long hours by the computer (excluding the school hours spent on my laptop, I generally use it for 4-5 hours per weekday and 7-8 on weekends), I find it quite difficult to distance myself from the Internet - it is full of undiscovered content, and I constantly feel the need to explore it.

If I were to stop using the Internet for a month, I think that I would become very bored with my daily routine - almost every aspect of my life is based around it, and I would find it very hard to pick up my hobbies and interests once again. However, in the long-run, I feel that not using my computer would benefit me greatly - I would spend more time focused on the things I should be focusing on (e.g. my studies), and learn to appreciate the world outside of my screen.
