The one and only, World Wide Web!

Do you ever wonder how in the world we ever survived without this beautiful thing we call the internet? It was so much more difficult to communicate, find what you were looking for, purchase  products, etc.; heck, without the internet, the only person that would be able to read what I'm writing at this very moment would be me...
Can you believe just a few short years ago (even in my lifetime!) this amazing invention was just a twinkling in many young inventor's eye's (and remember dial-up; what a nightmare!). It's hard to imagine what life would be like if the internet had never been invented. Luckily we don't have to!

Like I said before, the internet has completely changed the way that we go about our every day lives; especially when it comes to how we behave as consumers. We would not be able to see (or in many people's case, buy) half of the things we see today; the internet is a hot bed for marketing clutter and consumer mahem! Without the internet, we (as consumers) would be stuck in a slump of having to look through magazine after magazine to find our clothes, rather than just 'googling' it. I think that the internet has had the greatest impact on consumer behavior to date; it has not only changed how and when we see things, it has changed how we trade and desire products.
