I find it frustrating to take time out of my busy day to do errands, so I make sure to get a lot of things done with the help of the Internet. This week I needed to buy sleeping pills with Paypal and get some food delivered for the week, too. It is simple to do, and I’d say that I saved myself about 3 hours of time. That meant more time for me to spend with my wife and children. Other times, I look at the time that I have saved by shopping online and use that time saved on one of my hobbies. It works out nicely. Many years ago, we only had mail order catalogs to purchase things via mail order, and too often, the companies behind those catalogs often stuck with selling only home decor or clothing. Today, I can find just about everything that I want to purchase online.
I would say about 20 years ago, there was a young man who decided to spend one year inside of his apartment, and his claim is that he did not need to leave for any reason. He did it as part of a promotion for a company who paid him to do it. The company set up a live cam in his apartment so that viewers could see how he was able to do so many things with the help of the Internet and didn’t need to leave. He had to cheat here and there, but cheating is no longer necessary. I can schedule an appointment with my doctor now and he will speak to me over live cam and even prescribe medications to me. I can shop at an online grocery store and have everything delivered within hours. My wife takes our daughter to preschool, and I can check in to see how my daughter is doing by logging into the cam the preschool owners have set up for that very thing.
