Time Wasting Technology

Tools

By Chris Studer

Computers have revolutionized the world, I know, I get it. But man can they waste your life away. It seems like once you get on and visit some websites, then you get sucked into another site, that leads to another site. But the biggest waste in my mind? Games. But they're so addicting that I can't stop myself from playing. Over and over again. Endlessly. I found this numbers game, and I can't stop playing it. If my bosses ask, I don't play it at work. And don't tell your boss where you found the site either, that way we're both covered.

So here's the link: Numbers Game

It has Asian writing, but after you click on "Start" you basically have about a second to look at a series of numbers, then they go away. Then you have to click on the circles where you think the lowest number to the highest is hiding. Then you get the score after like 10 boards or something. The best I've gotten so far was a 20. I think it was a fluke. Usually I'm in the 25-28 range. It's pretty crazy how fast you can get addicted.

One of my co-workers (who shall remain nameless) is addicted to a game where you type the alphabet as fast as you can and you're timed.

Here's the link to that: Alphabet Game

He plays it over and over again. It doesn't seem like it would be that hard, but trust me, it's not easy. So there you go. I've fulfilled my duty of wasting part of your life away. But it can be a nice release from the work day right? Enjoy yourself...just minimize fast when the boss walks around.

OK, you got me hooked; I had to try the Numbers game -- should be good for memory practice, but Text Twist and Word Racer are A LOT more fun!!!
