Online Remedies for Boredom (If you aren't the usual miniclip maniac!)...
So the only way a normal person with a negative attitude can get through a lazy summer afternoon, without putting the body to much strain, is by staying online till the evening arrives, or at least till that old movie's torrent download gets completed. But then, what do you do ?
Your friends on Facebook either despise you or you're sick of turning up to them everytime 'cause they're equally jobless, Twitter is another time-waster 'cause you aren't the least bit popular as Charlie Sheen, so nobody's interested in reading your tweets anyway, and all your other hobbies seem pointless and farfetched 'cause the heat's probably killing you anyway! ...
Thankfully, the internet is filled or is rather overflowing with material that people like us could always put to use!And one way is to Google out the right options .
Going on a virtual vacation is sort of an unrealistic idea....
But HEY!, Ever wondered what your house looks like from the Sky ?
If you're thinkin' rite, Yes! I do mean Google Earth! What's more, Google Earth now also offers a few other planetary bodies such as the Moon and most breath-takingly, Mars! Its all there, patched up piece by piece thanks to the miracle of satellite photography. And yes, if you think thats gonna empty up your enthusiasm sooner than ever, there's always Google Sky, where there's this whole three dimensional void of space found around planet Earth with a pivotal first person viewing angle.
So all you need is a good working condition PC, a steady optical mouse (this feature sucks with the ball mouse thingy, seriously!) and a minimum amount of positive attitude. Do remember, the refridgerator also acts as a good substitute for this overtly nerdy activity :)
