At present millions of people use the Internet every day. Some of them use it for communication with friends, relatives and acquaintances, who live in different countries; it’s a source of international political, cultural, economic and other news, a source of necessary information and entertainment; some people make money via the Internet, for others it’s an easy way for conducting business; a lot of people today prefer to save their precious time and money and buy things their need from the Internet shops.
Not long ago I compared for what purposes I personally, my friends and relatives use the Internet. I found out that we had more in common than I’d thought before: for instance almost all of us use it for communication with people who live in other parts of the world. Almost all of us get necessary information from it and read news there. And we all use the Internet for buying things that we need, but what we purchase depends on our needs, tastes and preferences.
I for example made several purchases in a digital cameras online store last month; my brother after reading a number of reviews on the Internet and visiting many forums finally decided to buy a camera and all necessary things in a photo processing equipment store. We both remained satisfied with our buyings; and we both think that to order things on the Internet is very convenient and timesaving. My father has the same opinion: several weeks ago he had to visit a Lexmark printer accessories store because he needed some appliances for the printer that he has in his office. As far as my cousin is concerned he had been dreaming about iPod for several months and finally he managed to save necessary amount of money and bought one in an iPod mini accessories shop. And my friend for example managed to buy Bluetooth headset for iPhone in an online store cheaper than she was offered in a traditional shop.
And in the end I’d like to say that though we all use the Internet for different purposes, we all can hardly imagine our lives without this smart invention!
