Chapter 5 Getting More Out of the Internet

The internet has become more and more part of our daily lives. What was used first just to send emails has not developed into a communication and information phenomenon. We can use the internet for researching, such as information for this blog , use a site citation service, or checking medical facts from a medical portal like WebMD. We have the ability to search stock information and do our banking online, Want to plan a trip, no problem there is a portal for that.                  


There are thousands of special interests sites that cater to our hobby interests or simply "do it your self sites" like how to cook or putting together a DJ sound system ( Very challenging..Is there a book "How to DJ for dummies").  Whatever your interest is, chances are there is a portal to help you. For example, "For the beginner it can be a bit much to take on the wild world of DJing when you don't have a clue and even if you do you may be skeptical of spending so much money for something you may only do as a hobby"(HousePlanetDJ).

"If you are interested in learning about your families history, the Internet is an amazing resource"(Shelly, Napier, Rivers).


The possibilities are endless, you just have to look.
