The Internet has had a HUGE impact on my everyday life. When thinking about it, I never realized just how much I depend on the Internet. I grew up in the 80s and 90s, I was in high school when the Internet really started to take off and become popular. Now I could not imagine not having the Internet in my daily life.
I use the internet for almost everything. I do nearly all of my shopping online, I purchase pet products and various other items online. I will admit the one thing I do not buy over the Internet is groceries. I prefer to be the one to pick out my produce and other grocery items (I have purchased Shishito peppers through Amazon, only because I could not get them at my local grocery store). However, I have purchased pretty much everything else. I do all of my Christmas shopping online just so I do not have to deal with the craziness that holiday shopping can bring.
I find the internet to be so much more convenient to do things such as banking or even completing my degree. Had I tried to go to college at a traditional on-campus college, I would not have made it as far as I have today (I am four courses away from graduation).
I use the Internet to keep in touch with family and friends that I do not live close to. I have also used social media to find and purchase products. For example, I have used the Marketplace on Facebook to buy a video game system and video games. I have been introduced to new products over social media as well. For example, Color Street nail polish strips, a friend's daughter sells Color Street, and my friend was sharing her daughter's post about the nail polish strips, which I saw and decided to place an order. After trying the nail polish strips, I have found that I absolutely love this product and will continue to order the strips.
I also use the Internet for entertainment. My family does not have cable or satellite TV, we only use streaming services such as Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Vudu, and a variety of free movie and TV apps. By utilizing the internet for our entertainment, we have been able to save a lot of money, and we still have tons of options for our viewing preferences.
To end the post, I will say again that the Internet has had a considerable impact on my life.
