If you're reading this,
congratulations, you are connected to the Internet. However, one day you might
flip open your laptop and realize your Wi-Fi has failed.
Don't
fear! Here are some entertaining ways to have fun on your laptop or computer
when you don't have Wi-Fi. Now, the trouble is, how will you remember all this
if your Internet is down?
Maybe
you downloaded Photoshop awhile ago with a resolution to master it.
Instead, you were always too busy to test it out.
Now is the time to mess
around with the tools and apps your computer has to offer. Get experimental and
remember what it's like to learn by trial and error, without being able to
Google everything.
You
can also use this time to play games that run without a Wifi connection. Beat
your high score on Temple Run, Fruit Ninja and more.
It’s
time to pay attention to your music. This is the chance to finally sit down and
listen to that new album you bought all the way through, rather than shuffling
random tracks on Pandora.
Start that audio adventure from the beginning, the
way the artist originally intended.
You
can also make playlists to soundtrack your life, from workout songs to rainy
day slow jams. If you're feeling sentimental for carefully constructed mix
tapes, make a playlist for a friend and save it to a flash drive, or burn it onto
a CD for extra nostalgia points.
Remember
your DVD collection? Dust it off, pop one of those discs into your computer and
remember why you bought the deluxe box set of Harry Potter films
in the first place.
If you have an HDMI cable, you can even hook your computer
to your TV to watch on a bigger screen.
Clean
it, file it, rename it — your computer has been waiting for this day. Like a
messy room, your laptop or desktop is probably piling up with stuff you no
longer want or need, festering and filling up your hard drive.
Take a deep
breath and dive in, and send all of the stuff that’s clogging up your computer
to the recycling bin. Also take time out to organize all the things you just
dumped in your computer, like those vacation photos that are all crammed
together in one folder.
Open
up a Microsoft Word document and become the master of lists. Make
to-do lists for the rest of your week, or a bucket list for the rest of your
life.
Writing out all the tasks you have yet to accomplish will remind you of
all the stuff you reallycan do in this life without a Wifi connection.
