The internet is a growing sensation that alleviates
effort and time and provides convenience to all. As a child, the internet was
not as potent as it is now. I started seeing a tremendous difference in the
utilization of the internet in my latter years of middle school. In high
school, I was using the internet on a daily basis, primarily for research. After
high school, the internet was used for homework and social media. Today, the
internet is my lifeline. I depend on it for the smallest to the biggest necessity.
Without consistent access to the internet, I could not stay on top of my school
work, stay informed with current news (I don’t watch the news on T.V.), and stay
in contact with some of my friends and family. Furthermore, I wouldn’t be able
to successfully transition from being in college to having a career.
The internet plays a limited affect on my
buying habits. I tried online shopping, but I am not a big fan of it. I enjoy
being able to physically look at the items or try on the items I buy. The internet
affects my buying habits because sometimes I see things online that I like and I
may use those ideas as a reference. For example, I look at Pinterest for ideas
when shopping for clothes, do it yourself ideas (DIY), and ideas pertaining to
current trends. The internet makes the biggest impact when I’m shopping. I love
looking online and seeing outfits paired together that I would have never
thought of.
