The Internet is without exaggeration one of the most important things in my life right now. I moved from Romania to the United States a little over a year ago because I found love. My life changed completely and I was willing to embrace this change because i knew that I would still be able to communicate online every day, at little to no cost, with all my family and friends from back home. I honestly don't think that I would make it through the day without my e-mail account, Yahoo Messenger, Skype or Hi5. The first thing I do in the morning is to check the news in Romania and then the US. Then I check my Hi5 profile, which is the European version of Facebook. And the most important thing, I talk to my family and friends. After going through my daily ritual, I use the Internet for school related research and for sometimes for online shopping.
My husband uses the Internet mostly to get informed on the news and the weather (he is a golf pro) and to do online banking. Actually, he hates when I shop online. He says that I always had to return 90% of the items I bought online because they didn't fit or they weren't what I expected, so it's not worth the hassle. But what he doesn't understand is that browsing the Web for the best deals and having so many options is so exciting. I love to compare and contrast prices, accumulate knowledge on products and share it with people. Two semesters ago, in school, I was reading the Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell and I realized I might be a "junior Maven". In Galdwell's view, Mavens are people that like to be informed about the marketplace and help others be informed also. That sounds pretty good to me!
