Living in the 21st century has presented so many perks. Technology has brought people’s lives to another level, from the little things we do like the way we watch TV, listen to music, and to the big things like being halfway across the world from your loved ones but staying and feeling close to them, nonetheless, thanks to digital communication.
Everyday, we reap the benefits of having technology literally inside our pockets no matter where we go, that even the dull moments—like waiting for friends who seem to be constantly late, or a long, silent road trip, or perhaps simply missing distant family—now don’t have to be unbearable at all.
Many people are now living a Smart Life, and here are 3 simple ways you can, too:
1. Bring Entertainment Everywhere
Bastille Spinnr Experience
Music on the go
Because who doesn’t love music? Better yet, music that’s up to date with a wide selection of various genres. Anytime. Anywhere.
If that sounds appealing to you, we recommend you download Spinnr, a music streaming service where you can download music and create playlists according to your taste. These playlists are saved online, which means you can access them whenever, whether on your smartphone or on your laptop.
Never be bored again
Someone once told me if you want to spend forever with someone, take them with you to EDSA. We’re all no stranger to that–grueling traffic on rush hours. How do you usually pass the time (that seem to take forever)?
Thousands and thousands of apps are available in the Play Store and the App Store for your smartphone and tab. That, I think, is one of the most perfect ways to unwind after a stressful day at work while waiting to get home. Games? E-books? Video and photo editing tools? Everything you can possibly need to spend your idle time smartly, you can now get.
Watch hysterical Dubsmash videos maybe. Or better yet, record one yourself.
Your favorite shows and movies, anytime
The only way to beat those annoying series spoilers online is to beat them to watching the damn episodes first. How, exactly? Never miss an episode with these apps:
IFLIX– Love How I Met Your Mother? How about The Big Bang Theory? Or Modern Family?

2. Experience Convenience Everywhere
Information in one click
Perhaps you’re like me. I Google everything. I can spend hours on online reading various articles—from news, to entertainment, to music, to travel. Reading can be quite therapeutic, plus, it keeps you in the loop, you know? What are the Kardashians up to now, anyway?
Transactions made faster and easier
