39 Brilliant & Productive Things To Do On The Internet

Each time Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp shut down, there is always chaos on the internet. Your smartphne suddenly feel useless. You spend your time learning new tiktok dances or trying to beat that candy crush level you’ve been stuck in for days.

I’m pretty sure this hurt Mark Zuckerberg more than it hurt most of us. 

But some people actually felt the effect. 

To be honest, I don’t usually notice fast until I have refreshed my network and restarted my phone several times out of frustration.

Some call it a break and they don’t mind it happening every now and then, at least to get them away from mindless scrolling, for some, that was the worst thing ever. 

What are they supposed to do with their phones if they’re not on social media.

I mean, you’ve been working all day, you deserve some mindless scrolling at night, right?? 

I don’t count it as sad that the only way some people can get off social media is if they’re forced to. 

While, in my opinion, not everything needs to come to a productive end, one of the most asked questions is ‘what do I do on the Internet that’ll be productive?’ So as not to feel like a wasteman. For most people, that might translate to being off social media.

Some people work on social media so of course, whenever they use social media, it’s productive. 

Back to the question,

When I don’t work or don’t want to work and i don’t want to just mindlessly do things, what productive things can I do with the Internet?
