I can’t bear the ache of seeing Facebook taking away all the time and data in the expensive mobile phones of our Youth, and generally one-sixth of the planet, statistically. For some people, Facebook is the internet or internet is the Facebook. As soon as they connect to internet, it’s only Facebook they access till they disconnect to internet. But there are other more productive, amazing and beautiful things that everyone can do using internet.

1.    Read free books
One mesmerizing app I have in my cell phone is Amazon Kindle. It’s true that we must buy books from its store. But I don’t. It may be illegal but I download freely the eBooks from some websites I search using Google. That’s possible (for your kind information). And yes, every book can be freely downloaded. And again for your information, I am reading the eBook, “The Sun Also Rises” by Hemingway. If his book is available freely somewhere in the internet, let alone others.

2.    Blog
You can freely create a blog, which is like your portfolio that you maintained when you were in high school. You can write something, beautify with some pictures and even upload some videos you create. And basically, the difference is you can get audiences. And by the way, you are reading someone’s blog. You may attack me with a question that it’s same as writing something or posting a photo in Facebook and Instagram. But the differences are; every blogs have a unique URL and people can directly visit you, blogs allow you to have people view articles the way you like to show them, blogs make people interested in your works more than Social Media does.

3.    It can employ you
Well, I always wanted to learn computer programming languages. I came through a website called FreeCodeCamp where I have learned HTML and CSS till date. And you know what? After completing their courses, they provide us with certificates which allows us to work in companies in foreign countries. I am waiting for that day. So have you ever thought internet can employ you? Yes, it can.

4.    Learn what you like
Bought a Guitar but need a teacher? You don’t. YouTube is the key. I learned guitar back in class six. That’s when I always used to go to father’s office, download a heavy load of Guitar Tutorials, then when the person the video says you to do as him, he becomes your teacher. That way, you can brush the future that you can’t stop from arriving. Using internet, you can learn how to bake a cake, open a bakery and that’s it. How’s the idea?

5.    Become an online Kapil Sharma
I don’t watch his show by the way. I don’t understand Hindi. Maybe I should use internet to learn Hindi. Coming to the point, you can create your own reality show using internet. Ryan Higa is a popular Asian who touched worldwide audiences with his funny videos on YouTube. I watch him every single time. You can be a star using internet. The difference between the videos you may share on FB and YouTube is that the videos you upload on FB remains in a constricted circle but the videos on YouTube are encircled with large amount of audiences.

6.    Explore the world virtually
Using Google Earth, you can see the world on your palm. If you love seeing different places, why don’t you just download the app and travel virtually to United States. You can see the 3D buildings and structures. You can see how streets are, where the roads lead to and maybe how their environments are comparing to theirs. It is really satisfying to see the world outside ours virtually.

7.    Become a freelancer
There are websites which let you be a journalist to their company. You can be a researcher too. And interestingly, they will pay you. You can even write your short novels and distribute using internet. Maybe if luck favors, you may be called by someone else who will sponsor to publish your book for real. The only limit is the sky. There are real happenings like this.

Now get off Facebook and do something useful!
