The newest calculator on the Internet can tell you a crucial and guilt-inducing fact – the number of books that you could have read in a year, if you hadn’t been checking social media instead. Released by Omni Calculator, it works by entering the number of times you visit social media sites each day/hour/minute (you pick the unit of measurement) and how long you hang out on them. You’re given the total time wasted, which is then divided up to find number of books could be read. But these hacks given there aren’t enough to counteract the highly addictive allure of social media. Cutting it out completely is necessary for a personal reset, at which point you adopt a ‘philosophy of technology’ to better govern your online habits. You might as well start with Digital Minimalism.
