Although the Internet plays a major role in my life on a daily basis, I know that there are still a lot of people out there who are really skeptical about the Internet and what it is capable of doing. Sure, they might use it to send emails or to do some occasional research, but for the most part, the Internet is not a place where they are spending a huge amount of time.
When I hear people like this talking, I want to tell them that they really need to open their minds and take a look at exactly what the Internet is capable of accomplishing for them. Sure, there are plenty of things online that can be a huge waste of time (such as games), but there are also tons of tools that can make you a more productive person. For example, when I needed to find a rental car for an upcoming trip, not only did the Internet allow me to accomplish this task in a short amount of time, but it also made it possible for me to find the lowest price on a car rental in that same window of time.
