I continue to marvel at the Internet. I think it is the most incredible medium ever created. I am convinced there isn’t a thing you can think of that you can’t read about or watch a video or listen to a recording somewhere/somehow on the Internet. Just google it and off you go.
Nothing escapes the Internet. I’ve learned how to fix just about every appliance in my house. I rarely use a dictionary anymore because some little spelling beast corrects my mistakes. If I need to brush up on a topic—WHATEVER it may be—there’s always pages of text and pictures just minutes away. It’s insane. If you want to watch a movie or TV show, or just about any form of entertainment or other kind of performance, it’s there on the Internet. Innnnn-credible!
Case in point: The other day I was spending critical time reading about my favorite food…that would be ice cream. Suddenly, previously unbeknownst to me, I come across a mention of a Ben & Jerry flavor called Coffee Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz! Now, I have to tell you, I had to take a dramatic pause. I had never heard of this flavor and I am familiar with most of the B&J inventory. This particular flavor happens to be right up my coffee pot…or alley, if you prefer. But I have never seen it anywhere. How am I going to get some? Ah-ha! The Internet, of course! I bet if I just ask Google, “Where can I buy Coffee Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz” it will tell me. And…and…it gave me half a dozen retailers within ten miles of my house who stock this particular flavor. One was Target over by Broward Mall. So guess where I went and guess what I bought? BTW, the picture of the ice cream…yep, that’s from the internet. Just think of all the products in the marketplace…all the brands….all the individual details about them….and none of it, no matter how minute, is a problem for the Internet. Amazing. Oooh, did you know you can blog on the Internet too?
Don’t you just love the Internet? …and ice cream!
