Quite possibly the single greatest innovation that is a direct result of the internet is online shopping. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure if you can still call it shopping. Somebody might want to check that. Every time I go shopping, my feet end up hurting from standing around all day. Shopping online results in little more than the lower half of my body going to sleep as I sit for hours at my computer.
I’ve almost finished getting gifts for everybody on my “list”, and I barely moved. There’s really only one word for that–glorious. I suppose fantastic or amazing would work just as well. So there’s about three words. Just the same, it’s great. Oh, there’s four.
Anyhow, I’ve lost focus. Not only is my hand the only thing moving when I order online, but the stuff gets delivered to my doorstep. I don’t even have to walk to a register. It’s just here. They usually give me a tracking number and everything so that I know when when it should be here. Everything should be that easy
To top off the whole experience, I could have been in nothing but my underwear; my skivvies, if you will. Oh sure, I was fully clothed this time, but what about next time? Or the time after that? It’s hard to tell. It might be something to keep in mind when you’re unwrapping my gifts.
