Factual Error

In point 3, if you are referring to English as the most widely spoken Language (which I assume you are because the characters are in the English alphabet), I suggest you get your facts right. English is NOT the World's most widely spoken language. It is not even the second most widely spoken language! Those honours go to Mandarin and Spanish respectively. English comes in only at 3rd place. A simple Wikipedia search would have given you this Information.

There is a difference between most spoken language and widest spoken language

Try speaking Mandarin in Tamil Nadu or Spanish in Bihar; chances are that even those who dont speak English would you spoke to them in English

You are going by native speaker ranking. Mandarin is number 1 only because of the number of native Mandarin speakers. But outside of China, very few people know Mandarin (though that is changing by the day). In terms of reach, and number of people conversant with the language, English outscores others.

Stay off internet as much possible, use for necessary things only.

Get out in sun and have some vitamin D, go take a walk and give your muscles some workout.

Go cycling, swimming, sleeping, etc.

Technology is not life, only means of improving our life
