With the internet we have everything at our fingertips. We don't need to leave the house if we don't want to. A perfect example is Christmas shopping; if we do not want to deal with the long lines in department stores we don't have to. Before the internet we had to leave the house, make long distance phone calls,and shop in stores. Now we don't, we can talk to people we know that are in other states, and other countries without picking up the phone. The internet does allow us to do things more efficiently and easier.
