Benefit Of Internet

It allows for a unbelievably large amount of downloads and uploads of information, music, videos, attachments, and all sorts of other things as it is the engine of the Information Superhighway of our Information Era, in which we live.

Additionally, the internet allows millions of people to contact each other across continents to play online games, or to share pictures, share ideas, share common interests, share friends even, share phone numbers, email addresses, passwords as the internet is also used by billions as a gigantic social network that spans from the absolute most western part of the world to the most north, to the most eastern, to the most southern, and to any combination of directional extremes that can be imagined.

It is also the most global market known to man, as it is even better than any physical building, no matter how centrally located it may be in the map. With the right site, you can buy anything from bicycles to snowshoes to iphones to video games and consoles galore with only a click of a button and some quick credit card info.

Cyberspace is also used as the best way to find employees for certain companies, find employers from certain business, find unemployed but skilled technicians and trainees, as well as fill out as many applications as you can possibly submit in a lifetime. One of the bigget websites like this would be indeed.com, monster.com and careerbuilder.com. And yes, I should be payed per plug!

Lastly, on my list anyway, you can fill out as many enrollment forms as you have time for or have interest in, or you can even check your ACT or SAT scores with the requirements of local, national or even foreign colleges, universities and technical training institutes such as ITT technical institute, though I am not being payed for any of these plugs, but I should be!

Animations In Your eBay?

Inexperienced auction sellers, or those lacking in confidence, often want to make their auction listings more dramatic and exciting. They dread the possibility that buyers will be bored by their auction and turn away with indifference.

Therefore, they reason, they will spice up their auctions with some “animations“ - graphics that blink, change colors, spin, and travel around the web page.

Or the seller may be a tech person who loves toys and is proud of his ability to create unusual effects.

Regardless of their reasons, animated elements on an auction page are almost never a good idea for the following four reasons:
1. Rather than attracting attention to the merchandise in your auction, your potential customer may watch a spinning ball or follow Santa and his reindeer through the sky. We want the customer‘s total attention on that all-important question: “Do I want to buy this widget or not?“ Distractions are not good for your wallet.

2. Animations can make the load time of your auction listing much longer. I have been using DSL four years and have forgotten (happily!) how horrible it is to use dialup. However, for many places on this planet, high-speed connections simply are not available. For these folks, loading your page might take forever, and you can be sure they won‘t wait. Experts tell us that the average user spends only 7 seconds at a webpage before departing for greener pastures. If your sales page is still loading, no sale for you.

3. It takes time for you to figure out how and whether to use animations. This is time that would be better spent on writing more exciting and dynamic copy - copy that will turn a prospective customer into a real buyer. A smart business person will treat time as her most precious commodity and spend it on what is most likely to bring a sale.
