Things the internet has allowed us to do from home

Since it arrived in our lives, the Internet has changed our daily lives, facilitating many tasks that, before it existed, involved much more time and travel. Although identifying which of these tasks are the best valued by society is a difficult and subjective task, we do know which ones are among the most frequent. Making purchases, participating in online games such as the Argentine casino JackpotCity, purchasing tickets for a trip, or contacting people who are on the other side of the world are some of the most common habits.

The use of the internet is completely widespread among Spanish society. Every day, millions of Spaniards enter this network, either through their computers, or through their mobile phones or other types of devices. Of these, it is estimated that more than 5 and a half million Internet users spend more than 5 hours a day surfing the Internet and about 13 do so for more than three hours. In both cases, the use of the internet occupies an important part of their day. The presence of the internet is currently so strong that there is even a day dedicated to this tool: Internet Day is celebrated every May 17.

The truth is that the internet allows us to do, in a more comfortable and easy way, things for which we previously needed to leave home or resort to intermediaries. Among some of them are:

 

  • Buy clothes: although the majority of the population continues to buy their clothes in the establishments themselves, the web pages serve many people to see what models there are, in what color, at what price? This makes it easier for them to buy later in the physical store, since they can go straight to the point. In some cases, when the customer already knows the type of clothing a store manufactures, the size, etc., it is common for them to buy it through the internet.
  • Online games: the paradise of games is clearly found on the internet. The variety in the offer and the convenience of accessing them from home, makes them increasingly successful. Among them, online casinos stand out, which, in addition to providing discretion and tranquility to their players, often offer them prizes and bonuses.
  • Travel with a click: for most young people, the travel agencies they used to go to to organize a trip are long gone. Today, access to transport companies is completely direct through the network, as well as information on leisure in a certain place, its cultural offer, etc.
  • Friends anywhere on the globe: with globalization, people have continued more than ever to move from one place to another, in search of new experiences and opportunities. The reality is that today it is increasingly common for us to have acquaintances in other parts of the planet, with whom decades ago it would be impossible to communicate daily.
  • Tutorials: another of the facilities that the internet has brought us is the possibility of finding out about any doubt, however remote it may be. For this, forums, videos with tutorials and specialized pages have become a great source of useful information.
