The ‘Net Is Really A Wonderful Thing
Stuck down here in the middle of nowhere, I’ve come to really appreciate the ability of the Internet to solve problems. I can go out and get information on what people are telling me. I can find products that will never appear in any local retailer. I can notify a network of people of the situation with one message. It really is great.
One of the things it provided today was a menu of a regional restaurant chain, so people knew what they could order before a friend picked up dinner. It is a small thing, but it saves time, which a lot of us are running short of, something you figure out about the same time you admit to yourself that you are a ‘senior citizen’ and need to stop denying it.
It is so much more convenient than getting catalogs and making orders over the phone. Most of the things I’ve been buying have never been in the dozens of catalogs that my Mother receives.
