    Our washing machine wasn't running all the way through one of its spin cycles, so I was able to find out - via the internet - that the problem was a faulty timer.

    I then purchased - via the internet - the correct timer without having to leave my home.

    Once the timer arrived, I was able to learn - via a couple of internet videos - how to quickly and easily (a)get to the timer, then (b)replace the old with new. Mind you, if I had tackled this without this knowledge, I'm certain I would have spent at least a couple of hours doing all this....perhaps, even the wrong way and, of course, with requisite amounts of frustration. As it stood, it took me all of about 15 minutes....and a perfect job at that.

    I love the internet. :D

    I excercise less than I would without the internet, so I'm not as physically tired at the end of a day.

    Thank you, interwebs!
