Who could have ever imagined what the internet was capable of? Right now I couldn't even imagine our world without it!
Yes, it would be hard to imagine!Especially with these statistics:
With 80% of the population using the internet in the US alone, it would be hard for anyone to imagine our lives without the internet. Think about your typical day. You check out the weather report on Weather.com, then you get the latest news from the Today show online. When you get to work, you need to pay the company bills online from your vendors. You're doing some research for a project so you start with the online encyclopedia and then hit your company's training video collection to find some additional help. You download some great resources and share them with your team. While on your break you check out Ebay and buy some new shoes, order your books for school and pay some of your personal bills as well. You check out the Food Network for a great recipe for dinner and check out what's on television tonight from Entertainment Tonight's website. Then it's back to work downloading some compensation reports from your payroll vendor's website and some pension reports from your company retirement account's website. Later at home, you book your entire vacation - airfare, hotel, rent-a-car - and even make dinner reservations! You help your child with her homework and connect with her teacher through the school website to answer a question. Before you retire, you check out Web-MD and see what is up with the pain in your wrists - can you say carpel tunnel?
