Welcome to the Real World

These days, there are more than a few sites that have become mainstays in our personal and professional lives. Whether you looking up useless facts or trying to balance your checkbook, there are a few sites you can use to broaden your scope.

1) GOOGLE: First and foremost, your search engine is the guide by which you shall access significant websites. Although there are quite a few search engines now, none of them provide the tools and access like Google does. More than that, there are a few Google-associated tools that are simply groundbreaking. if you get the chance, do a little exploration. (Check out Google calendar, documents, Earth, maps, etc.)

2) WIKIPEDIA: i know there has some controversy surrounding this site. Mostly because of the way it allows it's users to edit it's entries. However, if you're doing research, it's one of the easiest to use and has a wide breadth of subjects.

3) CNET: i know it's a tech oriented site but believe when i say this: you can't find deeper more knowledgeable electronics reviews. whether you're buying a TV or a cell phone, their reviews are top-notch.

4) DIGG: this is one of the best sites for keeping up with the latest tech, news trends.

5) AMAZON: i know it's a shopping site but it's a GREAT shopping site. Books, clothes, electronics..... you name it.
