As the internet is constantly evolving, more and more things are able to be done over the internet. You can shop, listen to music, download movies, or watch TV shows. As of recent, you can also take online courses, work via telecommuting, and even buy your groceries online (and have them delivered.) I’m convinced that you can do any daily activity via the internet that would typically require most people to leave the house.
What are some things that we all do daily that require us to go out in the real world? UB offers online courses where the lectures (and sometimes even the exams) are all online. While the popularity of this hasn’t yet gone through the roof, it is definitely possible that in the near future you could get your entire degree through online classes. You can also do banking online. Paying your bills and transferring funds between accounts can all be done at home in your pajamas. People can now telecommute or work from home. Instead of sitting in a cubicle in an office, you can sit on your couch and do your work while watching cartoons then upload your data to the office. You can buy just about anything online, including groceries in some areas. Clothing, furniture, electronics, household supplies, and almost anything else imaginable can be purchased online and shipped to your door. Safeway and some other grocery stores offer online shopping and delivery. Socializing can be done online as well via Myspace and Facebook. You can look for your potential husband or wife on match.com or eHarmony. Instant messaging and email are also other ways to communicate with your friends online. Netflix mails you movies and now they also let you stream movies on your computer so you never have to drive to Blockbuster or
While some of these things aren’t as popular as others, it is possible to live most of your life from behind a computer over the internet. As these online options continue to grow and develop, I’m sure that there are even more things that will be available online. And while there are things that we may never be able to do on a computer, it is entirely possible that we can eliminate the need to leave the house if we choose.

I know I do a lot of my baking online because I can never get to the bank during their hours, I didn't know you could go grocery shopping without having to "go grocery shopping", interesting. Nice blog!
