I don’t want to be that person telling you we spend too much time on social media. But I’ve noticed that some of my friends do nothing else online other than Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. We have these magic devices in our pockets which evolved incredibly over the years and we seem to forgot how to use them. There’s so much more you can do, which is way more interesting that checking out your favorite artist sponsored post or your workmate’s cat pics. Here’s how you’ll rediscover the internet. 

• Learn That Target Language You Always Dreamed Of

I don’t want to brag, but last summer I was in Portugal and I was amazed that the locals actually understood me when I talked to them. Portuguese is one of my target languages and I learned it with the help of Duolingo. I know that so many of you have it installed in your phone and forgot about it. It’s time to dig it up and use it daily. It’s fun, it’s easy and the achievements and goals that they use in the built of the app will make you want to stay focus on learning. They use the same psychological tricks as all those Facebook games which are so addictive, but instead of wasting your time it actually helps you become a better person. 

• Brag About Your Workout Without Shame

I know that Strava is technically a social media app, but at the same time, is an app that will help you get in shape. The element that makes it so much easier for you to stay committed to your workout routine is the fact that you get to brag to all your friends with your progress. Those Kudos from my Strava friends make me smile and I get a lot of motivation when I see one of them pulling out a better time per mile than me. I know that bragging and vanity is seen as a terrible thing, but why not use it to get in shape. 

• Just Play

Have you played online games on your mobile? Some others besides the ones pushed on us by social media apps, meant to only feed us ads and keep us on their platforms? The industry of online gaming has come so far since a couple years ago. Now we have more complex and exciting games than the ones we used to have on PC at the beginning of 2010. And all of them can be played directly in your browser. Don’t even get me started on how well crafter and visually pleasing these games are. The graphics and realistic characters are amazing. If you care about gaming development, you will see some of the best built characters and impeccable graphics in the JerkDolls sex games. Their real sex simulator games are a prime example on how to create anatomically correct characters in gaming.
