I just wish to take a moment to appreciate the expanse of sales opportunities that the internet now provides us in todays world. From amazon to the simple website for Walmart. Purchasing something from your own home has never been easier.
I recently got my motorcycle license and research on buying my first bike is much more easy than it would ever have been say 20 years ago. I researched and found my bike in about a week without really leaving my house. I found bikes all around my area of living but the one i settled on was not near me in any sense. The bike I purchased was a 2009 Honda Rebel, from Greensburg, PA. I managed to contact the seller, get the contact history, have a trusted mechanic look at the bike and have the bike shipped to me from PA all for less than i would have paid for any bike around me.
That is a 600lb motorcycle, that is a a large item to have to ship and move across the country, but thanks to todays technology i was able to get it all sorted in less than 4 weeks. I just find that amazing. Not only that but many of the items i have with me here at school have been purchased over the internet and shipped to me with in days of my purchase. I have posters from Poland that took a week to get here. The sheer power and efficiency to todays postal system and online shopping is amazing and can only get better as the time goes by with the privitization of the postal system.
