How do we use the web?

I am honestly getting to the stage where I wonder how we survived without the internet. I use Google all day every day at work to find all sorts of items and find out all sorts of facts. We get our car insurance, term life quotes and any number of items and gadgets from eBay. Added to this is the massive factual resource the internet provides, whether you need information about, travel, insurance, electronic or any scientific queries you might have, the internet has the answer if you know how to look for it. A modern business, even if it has no link to technology or the web MUST have a web presence if they are to be taken seriously, even if it's just an entry in a directory. With the demise of high street shopping comes the rise in internet shopping, and with the recession getting worse, the internet offers a chance to get items you want at a keener price. These savings can also be extended to things like internet banking and insurance service which can offer better rates than their high street equivalents.
