Never Have to Buy a New Internet

When I was a kid we replaced one set of encyclopedias with a newer set of the same type and brand. When the new ones arrived the whole family unpacked them and sat around comparing the two editions. The new ones were crisp and clean, without finger smudges and worn covers, and a different color. When it came to the articles inside, we found that lions hadn’t changed at all in the ten years between editions, but the map of Europe was very different. We were all happy to have up-to-date reference materials, ignoring the fact that these too would become out-of-date just like the last set before it.

That ‘new’ set of books is still on the shelf, now decades old. Recently, when some friends of mine and I were playing a DVD trivia game, we were looking up some of the answers in those encyclopedias and others on the Internet. It struck me that every book I own is, to at least a small degree, out of date. However, the Internet is constantly being updated. The latest advice on treating snake bite is added, as are the most recent facts about actors and writers. The NASA site (www.nasa.gov/) has the most modern facts about other planets, and up-to-date pictures of them. In fact, I’ve been told NASA sometimes shoots live web casts, so we can see other planets at almost the same moment as the NASA scientists.

I like books, but I’m using the Internet more and more. Knowing I am reading the latest information is comforting. It is ludicrous to even suggest giving ‘this Internet’ to charity and having to buy a new one.

Buy Your Books Online And Save A Boatload Of Cash

It is now widely accepted that shopping for books in a traditional brick and mortar shop is a hassle. Usually, many serious book shoppers are trying to access a book or magazine that are blocked by men, women, and kids, laying on the floor, talking on mobile phones, or going through the books and then returning them to the wrong place without paying for anything they have laid their hands on.

This had led me to defer to the less grueling, less intrusive, and more convenient way of researching, and buying books online.

And this new concept made possible due to the brilliance of people like Gates, Jobs, and host of others, can now enable several folks buy online books and avoid the hassles of doing so in person at bookstores.

In addition to buying books online, we can also find books online that are not up for sale, but are in the free domain as they have been in existence, were written, or were approved for re-reading before intellectual property laws.

This plainly shows that there are multitudes of books online that you do not need to access or purchase.
