Default Re: The many uses of internet

I've used it for just about every aspect of school. From report information, to checking my assigments, to language translation sites, how to make proper bilbiogrpahies, etc...

Even for reports that required book sources, I wouldn't actually ever check any books out I would just find books online that pertained to my topic and copy their information down, lol.

I generally stopped using libraries probably in middle school. So as an education aid or resource, the internet is wonderful. Especially for a student who procrastinates.

Another greatly valued use includes online shopping. I'm able to get many items and products through the internet that would otherwise not be directly available to me. Sometime purchasing through this system is cheaper than through actual store retail or mail order.

One final use that has played big in my internet experience is the exploration of music. Because of the internet, I've discovered many musicians and groups that I like and may have not otherwise discovered. Through the use of the search engine, I've also been able to identify several songs that I liked but never knew the titles of.

Playing Games.

Guilty Gear on Live may be laggy and slow, but I love it.

Also Online shopping, and getting a daily laugh, normally provided by you folks and your crazy videos/jokes/anything else that randomly pops up.

Mainly for research as I just can't be bothered going through huge textbooks looking for one tiny detail when Ctrl+F works just as well..

For communication with family and friends back home, my coursemates (MSN is soooo handy when it comes to those 'eh-when-is-the-due-date-for-that-statistics-assignment' moments) and also, meeting new people. I am alone most of the time and talking to strangers is probably the best form of therapy I've ever experienced... lol...

And of course, my playlist. There you go.

No, I don't do the whole luring little boys through the internet thingy. I stick to giving them candies... especially little boys with blonde floppy hair.

I'm a traditionalist.
