The Time Goblin Gobbles Time

We - smartphone and laptop owners - spend disgusting amounts of time on the Internet.  Whether it's playing games, posting to Instagram, reading the blogs of people we will never meet or writing our own, it is hard to justify the time spent.  Obviously, some things we do on the Internet are productive and beneficial, but if we divide all of the time we have ever spent on the Internet into the categories of productive and wasted it would be hard to spot the Titanic of productive as it crashes into the glacier of wasted.  We can all site instances where someone's smartphone shot helped the police to catch a criminal but we can site a thousand more where some form of Internet addiction ruined someone's livelihood.

I would like this post to be a productive use of my time instead of time wasted and so I am going to challenge whoever reads this to try something.  Over the next 7 days, when you are about to get on your phone or your laptop and you think it's going to be a waste of time, don't do it.  You be your own judge.  If, at the end of the week, you don't see an improvement in your productivity, please comment on this post and tell me how wrong I am.
