Awesome Ways To Kill Time With Technology

Do you have some time on your hands and don’t know what to do with it? Maybe you have an important meeting coming up, but it’s still an hour away? Or are you on your way to a wedding but the car journey is another 2 hours long? Perfect, as this article is designed for you. 

Keep reading to learn about all the awesome ways you can kill time with technology, from your smartphone to PC. 

1. Bet on sports

Betting has been around for longer than you’ve been alive. It’s an important part of human culture, as it provides people with an entertaining escape from their hectic lives. 

In particular, sports betting has exploded in popularity – much like a volcano – over the past couple of years. In fact, as this article shows, this is because in general sports offer you a great way to pass the time on the weekend, not just because you can play and watch, but because you can bet too. Take a look at it to see if you could be getting more from sports (and your weekends!) and what you could be doing. 

2. Stream movies

When you need to kill time with technology, a movie is often the best solution (providing it’s a good one, of course). Soon, you’ll be so immersed in the story and action that 2 hours have passed by in the blink of an eye. 

The wonder of modern technology allows you to stream movies in several different ways. You can stream movies through your TV, smartphone, computer, tablet, or laptop – so there’s plenty of choices. 

If you’re someone who’s outside traveling a lot for work and personal reasons, you’ll be able to (conveniently) stream movies on your smartphone. Just make sure you have a good internet connection!

Also, if you’re not sure which streaming provider to choose, here are the best ones: 

  • Peacock
  • Netflix
  • Amazon Prime Video
  • Disney+

To save money, make sure to only subscribe to one of them. 

3. Video call with friends

Killing time is easy when you video call a friend. You can have a nice gossip and catch-up before realizing that it’s suddenly midnight! As the old saying goes, time goes fast when you’re having fun. 

Here are some tricks on how to make video calls with friends more fun, so make sure to use them if you’re someone who is addicted to FaceTiming and Zooming friends! 

4. Practice meditation

These days, life is a little bit crazy (and that’s an understatement). Negative news cycles and family pressures can lead to many people feeling like the weight of the world is on their shoulders. Thankfully, there are tools you can use to alleviate any stress you have. Meditation is a great one. Not only is meditation good for passing the time, but it will also help to improve your mental wellbeing – now that’s what you call a win-win situation! 

Check out these meditation apps, which you can easily download to your smartphone.

Because there are so many different podcasts out there, it can be difficult to find ones that are right for you. As a starting point, here are some podcasts to check out – there might be something there for you.
