It is a Tuesday, and it is snowing. I know in January this is not a surprise, but basically it is warm in my house, and while sometimes I do enjoy building a 7 foot snowman, today I am going to have some quality time with my computer.
When I think about the Internet, it just seems like an everyday part of life by now. Something we don't have to think about. Something we always have access to. But think back fifteen years ago when we had to wait 10 minutes for dial up to connect to connect to the world wide web, and we had to make sure we weren't expecting any phone calls.
I use the Internet for many different purposes. To start, the Internet is a great resource for homework. For example, I wouldn't be able to complete this homework assignment without the Internet. But I also use the Internet for many other things. The Internet is a place for me to do online banking, keep track of my credit cards, waste time, connect to social media, online shopping, email, fast news that might not be on the television yet, and to work. The Internet really has endless possibilities.
Compared to other people in my house, the Internet is used in many other ways. My sister uses the Internet for the same purposes as myself. My grandmother really only uses the Internet for email, printing out her Barns & Noble coupons, and for news resources. My mother, however, is a lawyer and uses the Internet for law purposes such as looking at databases, TurboLaw, looking up libraries and courthouses, as well as things that I do such as social media and defiantly online shopping.
