E-culture, for most of us, has a highly personal echo. I exercised myself in thinking of all the stuff that wouldn’t have happened without the internet. Here it is:
RATHER BIG STUFFS
I heard about the celsa searching the web with google (I wouldn’t be studying marketing, communication and new media without that)
I found my flat in paris with www.pap.fr (bargain!)
I met my boyfriend in England with www.easyroomate.com (cause he had put an add to rent a room in bournemouth where i was staying for erasmus). He moved in France with me. He found a job here with www.craiglist.com (from unemployed to earning thousands renovating flats for a multimillionaire american couple!)
I’m browsing for companies for my next internship, and maybe next job, on the internet.
When I got a question, I almost always find an answer (as far as practical stuffs are concerned, and even sometimes for deeper musings)
SMALLER STUFFS
We found a kitten with craiglist. She makes us laugh so much!
I’m going to spend one week in Djerba for cheap thanks to www.lastminute.fr. One year ago I spent one month in Vietnam just because I had seen a picture of the Halong bay on the net.
I experienced photo modeling with www.book.fr (i’m off now, but it was good fun)
I could attend english classes at home during the strikes with MSN
I didn’t pay for music or movies for years now (i know, it’s very bad; but I’m not really a heavy user anyway)
I almost never use a pen anymore!
