(441 posts)I love to be instantly up in space, looking down on the clouds. Oh, and cameras for the river bars on the coast and also into one of our local volcanoes.
I love youtube for all the great music from the '60's and early '70's. I like being able to find out who the group/artist was that performed those songs...often the DJ's back then either didn't announce who the group/artist was, or they said it so quick I couldn't catch who it was.
A new thing I love: Pinterest. I can pin information about all kinds of stuff on an on-line board, which saves me bundles of $ I would otherwise have to come up with for printer ink.
I also like on-line shopping. Can't afford to do very much of it, but I love to have things come in the mail besides bills! And I hate to go out to shop...love having stuff come to my home.
And all the rest of the things everyone else has posted: DU , Google; browsing and reserving books at my local branch of the county library and then getting email when the books/CD's/whatever is ready for pick-up; researching everything watching old cartoons or movie clips; watching clips from Stephen Colbert or Rachel Maddow; emails or chats with absent friends and family, and reading posts from like-minded people. I love DU, and I love the internet.
