AsburySkinsFan Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Research. Especially with sites like Google Scholar and Directscience; I did 90% of my grad school research without leaving my computer...good times. Yep, I wrote two papers last semester without leaving my office. With all the academic journals that are on the internet via pdf files, it makes one wonder how they used to do this stuff before.

AsburySkinsFan Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I honestly cannot believe that I forgot one of the things that I use the internet for, and its not on the list. Consumer related activities; i.e. buying and selling. For the last 3 years I have done 1/2 or better of my Christmas shopping online. My wife finally got into this last Christmas and did probably 75% of her shopping online. I also opened a store on ebay last year and made several hundred bucks selling candles that I bought from a factory outlet store near by. I will also be purchasing a train set next month from an internet store, I order my books online, and I order different church materials online. Plus my wife sold AVON last year and did all her work online. So, yeah, um buying and selling has to go up pretty high on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 So, yeah, um buying and selling has to go up pretty high on my list. I lumped that in with research, because before I buy I use the internets to research a product and where the best prices are. 9 times out of 10 it turns out online is the best price, but sometimes I'll do in store pickups...

Yeah, I research all my larger $$ items online now, Consumer Reports.com is a dandy for this type of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
