Life in the modern world has been so vibrantly colored by the technology and information we now possess.
With so many different avenues and options for one to spend their free time it can be easy to miss out on available opportunities.
That same technology that has helped has us so much has allowed us to become lazy and sedentary not only in our physical health, but in our mental and cultural health.
With the rush and challenge of daily life it becomes easy to get into a daily routine; eating, watching, and doing the same things. Those daily routines become monthly, which become yearly, and ultimately become your entire life.
With the amount of wealth and opportunity available on the internet today, it would be criminal not to take advantage.

Health and Fitness

That familiar old guilt that we’ve all had at some point. “I should be in better shape” or “I should eat better”. There’s a reason that so many people around the world have become overweight and unhealthy.

Education and Learning

One should never stop learning. The benefits of a continuing education really are uncountable. Unfortunately, the great cost has barred so many from pursuing their passions.

Free World Class Education

In a bold move, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology or MIT has decided to publish material from a number of their courses at their Open Courseware site (http://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm). The number of courses available is quite extensive, including all of the major areas of study. In a similar vein, Khan Academy (https://www.khanacademy.org/) offers lessons on common secondary school subjects up to the end of high school. It also offers lessons for computer programming and computer science.

Free Novels, Stories, and Books

Learning practical concepts and educating ourselves are beneficial pursuits, however what they can teach us about the world is somewhat limited. The most useful and perhaps only real way to explore the world of the past and its people is through books and literature. Novels and old stories paint the past in a way that history books never could. The Gutenberg Project (http://www.gutenberg.org/) offers a library of digital books, available free. If reading doesn’t suit you then LibriVox (https://librivox.org/) offers a wide selection of audio books for you to listen to anywhere you like.

Cultured Entertainment

One of the most prevalent time stealers in modern life is television. How many hours have you spent vegging out on the couch watching the same show or movie over and over again? Personally I don’t know if I want to know. There’s nothing wrong with watching television, but it can be rewarding and beneficial to your life to watch informative and unique programs.
