I still remember back in the old days when everybody that ever wanted something had to go down to a store to get it.
Online wasn’t an option back then.
I am 65 years old and so I have seen those days come and go, and while I do miss some of the simpler parts of life back then, I don’t miss life without the internet. I now use it so much in my everyday life that it is hard for me to imagine life without it. Just yesterday I was using the internet to buy some HVAC products that I need for my home. My home is an older home and I have been planning to make some renovations and upgrades, starting with my heating and a/c system. The first part I wanted to make changes to was my thermostat, I had a very outdated dial thermostat that would need to go and instead I purchased a programmable thermostat that could connect to the WIFI. I had no idea how to go about setting it up, and so I still had to rely on a heating and a/c professional for that part of the job. Fortunately, there were plenty of heating and air conditioning businesses around me that were able to easily help me set it up once I got an HVAC technician out. The smart thermostat was my first online purchase, my next was visiting all the links on the websites of the heating and cooling company and purchasing a HEPA filter. My hope was that the smart thermostat would work in conjunction with the HEPA filter to create a clean environment with excellent indoor air quality. I got the results I was looking for.
