NO INTERNET?!?!??!

How would my life be affected without internet?! What a cRAzY question!

My business, Ross Frazier Photography, is largely based on the internet - it is my only presence to my customers unless I want uninvited knocks on the door to my home office! I get numerous emails a day and all orders are placed online through my online shopping albums! My business would be close non-existent without an internet presence.

Also - I use internet to keep in touch with a lot of my friends that I don't see on a daily basis through websites such as Facebook. What would I do if I were unable to visit these websites? I would probably go crazy...for a little while....then I'd realize...oh wait, I have their phone number...if I REALLY want to know. I believe my life is now more productive thanks to internet. Research on any subject is merely clicks away and it's so easy to transfer information from one person to the next through bookmark sharing and emails. Getting class assignments off of blackboard is quick and easy and makes it easy to do class work from home. Signing up for classes using the online BOSS makes it easier on Tech AND the students who can do it from the comfort of their own beds!

I believe life as we know it would shut down without the internet. Would that be a bad thing? Who could say?

For once would we actually notice the phase of the moon instead of looking it up on google? For once, would we actually take the time to walk outside to decide what to wear for the day instead of visiting www.weather.com? Would we be forced to talk with our voices over a phone line instead of our fingers on a keyboard/keypad? Would we be forced to realize how great our lives really are, instead of reading about the fabulous lives of people we've never even seen?

Who's to say the internet failing would be a bad thing? Maybe not failing permanently - but a mere break from it...12 hours maybe? That's quite possibly all it would take.

WTF?! Economics?!

Why did I choose Economics as my major, you may ask? Well, quite simply - I enjoy it. Many times when I tell people this, they look at me as if I just told a bad dead baby joke...but I really do enjoy Economics. I find the interactions of consumers and producers in markets with concern to Supply and Demand and other external issues fascinating.

Not only that but I plan on attend Law School in the near future, and a 1996 Wall Street Journal Study shows that of the undergraduate degrees with the highest LSAT scores were graduates of Economics. I believe this is because Economics teaches us to treat each situation logically and abstractly - which is exactly what the Law School Admissions Test is - a series of logic problems.

THAT, my friend, is why I chose Economics as my major.
