One of the biggest uses of the Internet, after communications, is shopping. More people shop online today than ever before, and it’s not hard to believe that someday shopping online will surpass shopping in brick and mortar stores. Of course, it’s hard to pass up the air conditioning of the local mall on a hot day. Even with the temptation of cool air on a hot day, Google has made the online shopping experience even more fun and more powerful by creating a tool that allows you to comparison shop for products based on price and features. Chapter 7 showed you how easy it is to view catalogs online. Comparison shop with Google’s Froogle and there is no need to ever leave the house again. You can do all your shopping online.
