The last category is retail business and sales. These sites
include online stores, like CD
Universe, and malls such as Ghirardelli Square. Visiting
these sites were quite fascinating, as actual products could be bought
with the click of a button. Some of these sites even offer an online
shopping basket, in which one could put their item in. After shopping,
items in the "basket" can be bought or discarded. It was also cool, in that
one could purchase items throughout the net that was exclusively sold in
other states. I thought that it was faster to search for a product on
the Internet than at a real store, especially when looking for CD's. It
seems as if "physical" malls will soon be obsolete.
Differences Between E-zines and Magazines
Surfing on the
Internet, I was able to examine some
e-zines. I was interested to see the e-zine counterpart of the magazines
I subscribe physically through the mail. So I searched on the Internet
and found:
To my surprise, the e-zines and physical magzines were practically
identical. The pictures were the same, and the journal writing was
exactly the same, word for word. The only difference is that a magazine
article only requires one web page; compared to multiple pages on a
physical magazine. I
really enjoyed the electronic versions as it was easy to search for any
article. Just point and click. Another advantage of the electronic
versions is that they do not deteriorate and bend like real magazines do.
In addition, one does not have to wait for the magazine to be mailed
to them. Just wait till the release date of the magazine, and "poof!",
there it is on your computer. What I also liked about e-zines is that it
does not consume paper. In other words, it helps to save the environment.
Best of all, e-zines do not come with all of the traditional inserts of a
magazine. Disadvantages of e-zines include not having the opportunity to
view the pictures in detailed form. The photographs in my magazine were
considerably sharper than those found on the Internet. Another
disadvantage, is not being able to read the e-zine while on the throne.
