1. You have an important personal question you’d like answered. Explain the procedure for getting your question answered and why this method appeals to you (you don’t need to get specific, but let’s assume the answer does not require specific expert knowledge, as from a doctor).
Whenever I have a personal question that I feel is important to me and I’d like answered I usually go to Google. You can almost usually always find what you are looking for. There are always countless links to the topic or subject you want answered. I go to the site and type in, not necessarily a question but just a word or two of what I’m trying to find. Generally the results that appear are what I am searching for. If I don’t find the information that would answer my question the first time I tend to rephrase my wording and that usually works out the best for me.
This method of answering my own questions comes a lot easier than consulting a professional that would give me similar information and not have to pay for a visit if that is what my question was relevant to. I also try and make sure that the sources that I am looking up are creditable and not just someone’s opinion or blog that has been posted with information pertaining to my question. I also think this way of answering my personal question works the best because if the question I am asking is something very personal to me I may not want to consult anyone for the answer. Finding the answer to my question through a search engine on my own still gives me the same knowledge base, just without anyone knowing my personal concerns. That is why I use Google when I have an important personal question that I’d like answered.
2. Have you used a website like Craigslist or EBay to buy or sell something? What was the experience like? Would you use such a service again? If you haven’t, detail how you have sold or bought something outside the environment of a retailer.
I have never used Craigslist or EBay to buy or sell something. I have actually never sold anything at all online. I have, however used Amazon for the first time to purchase Here Comes Everybody for this class. The process of doing this was very easy to me, although I asked my roommate for help sense she had used it several times. All I did was type in the title of the book that I wanted to purchase (Here Comes Everybody) and several listings of the book came up. I had the choice of buying a used or brand new book and the prices varied on each. I picked a used copy of this book and had it shipped to me. The total came out to be a little over eight dollars including shipping and I was very satisfied with how good of shape the book was in and pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. I received an email right after I made my purchase and it included a date at which it was to arrive. When the book was actually sent out, I also received an email and got the book a week earlier than expected. This site was very user friendly and I would absolutely use it again! I was always very hesitant with using online sites to purchase anything because of privacy and making sure I go what I paid for but after my experience this first time, I have no problem using it again.
