Bragging just a little bit, I've used some of this downtime to brush up on my technology skills as I've disliked having to rely on family members.
Now, I can:
1) Watch online content region-free and shrink/make DVDs/VCDs as well as stream content from my computer to my television or almost any device.
2) Do basic OS maintenance (de-fragment, clean memory), can update my software/ad-blockers/anti-spyware, and understand what drivers are and how to change them.
3) Disassemble and clean my computer; I could probably install new hardware.
4) Automate my devices; I've set up some smart-home entertainment and safety systems at ~90% functionality.
5) Be far more sophisticated with social media like Facebook, Twitter, and Snapshot.
6) More capable with advanced Excel/Sheets features.
7) Use the Jupyter environment as I need it; also I learned how to use GitHub much more effectively.
8) Use Swyping on my mobile to make typing much better; in general, I'm far more comfortable now with non-computer applications.
The height of this was today as I successfully unlocked my iPad device and can install non-store apps.
I'm sure for you youngins this stuff is laughably easy and something you can do in your sleep, but I've always had an (unnecessary) trepidation towards these things.
If you continue to laugh, let me ask about your proficiency in a few things:
1) Darn a sock
2) Hem a skirt/pant
3) Cook at least 7 unique items
4) Be able to mix 5 (at least 3 of which are common) drinks
5) Basic auto maintenance (change oil/tire/fluids)
6) General home repair (at least be able to diagnose problems)
7) Keep a budget (preferably in your head, as a matter of habit)
8) Negotiate a major purchase/contract/salary
9) Know the phone numbers and major dates of at least five people
10) Do basic non-algebraic math in your head
Such concludes, as my cousins removed would say, the boomeriest post ever.
