Since returning from my trip to CA last week I had to stop and think that no matter how far away you may be from other parts of the country the Internet keeps us connected to anywhere we want to go around the country and also around the world.
As much as people complain and I know I do my share, the Internet has provided so many opportunities to everyone. Some people rely completely on the Internet to do everything in their daily life. I admit I have not completely turned my life over to it (contrary to what some of my family thinks) but it is truly wonderful how we are able to keep in touch with others or do business over the world-wide web.
I recently went into a shop with some friends and the first thing the proprietor asked was "Where did I live?" after telling them they stated "Oh, I am sure they must have a store close by". Rather than correct them I thought I will just check on the Internet. Of course the closest store is more than three hours away but after checking on-line I found it was easier just to make purchases there than the long drive.
When I stop and think how much on-line shopping you can do it blows my mind. I have bought a wide variety of items and it is like Christmas when the UPS or Federal Express man comes, package in hand.
Some are not happy to step out of their personal comfort zone, but hey if you can't find it locally go on-line its a big world out their and it's your opportunity to see everything, from the comfort of your computer screen..
Here are just a few places that might be of interest:
