Is this how we should use the internet?

I've been thinking about this for a while, scattered thoughts, in the little time we give ourselves in between of life (following our routines without thinking).

I'm 22 and it's safe to say that I know a lot of people who spend a lot of time on the internet everyday without really thinking about why they do so...

Reading a little into behavioral science, I can't help but think that the internet/smartphone is a double edged sword. We still don't pay enough for enough software in relation to how much of our time we spend on it (obviously because we're the product and most internet companies have extremely high incentives to keep us using their software without really thinking about it).

I feel strongly about the above and feel like I need to do something about it. If there are people who resonate with me and perhaps could help me out on what is the correct way to use the internet?

TL;DR - How do I use the internet correctly and gain control of my habits to control how I use my time?
